Scene: “Unexpected Visitor” — Tadhg & Jiji

The front door clicked shut behind him. Tadhg didn’t even bother knocking—he never did. The Lynches and the Caseys were practically family, and he’d been in and out of Finn’s house since they were kids.

But today, the living room was empty. Kitchen too. No Finn in sight.

A slow grin spread across his face. Well then.

He padded down the hall, heading straight for the one person who was home.

He knocked once on Jiji’s bedroom door.

From inside came her voice, slightly muffled but laced with annoyance. “I’m busy studying. Naked!”

Clearly, she thought it was Finn.

Tadhg leaned his shoulder against the wall, grinning wider. “Is that supposed to keep me away?”

Silence. Then a sudden scuffle of movement from the other side. The door whipped open, and Jiji stood there—very much dressed in an oversized hoodie and shorts—eyes wide.

“You’re at my house!” she blurted.

He glanced her up and down in exaggerated fashion, then smirked. “And you are dressed. I wonder who’s more disappointed?”

She gaped at him, cheeks heating, and before she could come up with a reply, he just winked and strolled past her into the room like he owned the place.
