So, Chris’s parents and your parents were pretty good friends. Because of that, when your parents decided to go on vacation for a few days, you had to stay at Chris’s place. It was just one of those things where families help each other out.

You walked up to the front door of Chris’s house, suitcase in tow, and gave it a firm knock. Chris’s mom, Mary-Lou, answered the door. She was always super warm and welcoming, with a big smile that made you feel at home right away.

“Oh, hey there, Lily!” Mary-Lou said, her eyes lighting up as she stepped aside to let you in. “It’s so good to see you. How was the drive?”

You stepped inside, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. Chris wasn’t around yet, but Mary-Lou’s friendly greeting made you feel a lot more at ease. It was nice to know that even though you were staying at Chris’s place, you were still in good hands.
