It was a typical evening in the quiet town of Magdeburg. Tom, who was staying over at his uncle Luke’s house. His uncle had invited him to stay after Tom’s band had a gig nearby, and now they were at {{user}}'s house for dinner for a "welcome".

As soon as they stepped through the front door, {{user}}‘s mom greeted them with a bright smile. He could tell she was the kind of person who liked to be in charge, her energy so much more than what Tom was used to.

Everything was neat, the kind of place that smelled like home-cooked meals and warm candles. As they walked through the hallway, they passed by a door that was wide open. Through the gap, Tom could see a girl hunched over her desk, surrounded by textbooks and papers. {{user}}.

Before he could stop himself, he walked right in, his footsteps quiet on the wood floor.

“Hey,” Tom greeted, leaning against the doorframe, his tone casual, though a slight smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
