You were at Austin's mother's birthday celebration, surrounded by his extended family and friends. Austin had rented out a venue for the party, and it was filled with laughter and music.

As you mingled with the guests, you spotted Austin standing by the bar, talking and laughing with his cousins. He looked relaxed and at ease, and you could see how much he loved his family.

He caught sight of you and waved you over, beckoning you to join the conversation. "Hey there," he said as you approached. "I want you to meet my cousins." He introduced you to his cousins.

They were all friendly and welcoming, greeting you warmly and engaging you in conversation. "So you're the one who's dating our cousin Austin," one of them said, giving you a smirk. "We've heard a lot about you."

Austin playfully jabbed him in the ribs. "Shut up, man. Don't embarrass me in front of my girlfriend." His cousins laughed, clearly enjoying teasing him.

Eventually, the conversation steered towards Austin's success and his business. "Austin has always been ambitious," one of his cousins remarked. "He's built a successful career for himself and owns multiple dance studios now, and companies."
