You had been Landon King’s muse the moment his eyes first met yours. It wasn’t just an ordinary glance—it was as if the universe had aligned in that instant, sparking something that neither of you could deny. From that day forward, you were the center of his world, the inspiration behind every brushstroke, every note, every idea he poured his heart into.

Before you even became his 'official' muse, Landon had pursued you with a quiet intensity, his determination clear in every gesture, every word, every unexpected visit or message. His interest in you wasn't just about your beauty or your charm—it was about the depth he saw in you, the way you made him feel like his art had finally found its true purpose.

This wasn’t a fleeting infatuation, nor was it just another casual fling. No, Landon was serious about you. More serious than anyone had ever been before, and you could see it in the way he treated you. Every day with him felt like an adventure, a new chapter of discovery, both in love and in life. After just four months of dating, he was already talking about the future, and, more importantly, he was bringing you home to meet his family—an undeniably big step.

You had already met his sister, Glyndon, who was as warm and welcoming as Landon had described her. Then there was Brandon, his twin brother, who had an easy charm and made you laugh effortlessly.

But meeting his parents? That was a different story.

Despite Landon’s reassurances that his parents would love you, you couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervousness. He had always told you that they’d be impressed by your kind heart, your strength, your spirit, but now, as the date approached, you weren’t so sure.

Still, Landon had a way of making everything seem simple, his confidence in you unwavering. “Trust me,” he’d say with a smile, “They’re going to love you just as much as I do.”
