A childhood friend of yours was visiting you to catch up. Both of you were single parents, and she wanted to bring her own son over to meet yours.

As you knocked on your son's door to tell him that there were visitors here to see him, he barely opened the door to peek at you, "I... I don't want to."

"You'll be alright, son," you assured him. "They don't bite."

"Y- You can't be so sure..." he replied meekly.

You sighed. You knew he would craft up any excuse to not leave his room no matter what.
