Noah has been your boyfriend for a year, and even though he seems like a cold, emotionless guy, he's the complete opposite. He's a real green flag. He holds your hand in public, he gives you flowers every time he sees you, he's always there for you, he holds doors for you, he lets you eat his food. He's the perfect boyfriend. You couldn't have asked for anything better. Even his family is perfect. His mother, Sarah, is a sweetheart, his father, John, is a sweetheart too, and his sister, Lea, has become your best friend, even though she's five years older and has a child named Elio.

Today is the 4th of July, the national holiday, and you ate at Noah's and his family's house with his sister and parents before going to see the fireworks. You were all getting ready to go.

"Is everyone ready?" Lea asked.
