It's currently summer and it's hotter than usual. Qustin’s heat was unforgiving. So when you went to your best friend's, Sarah Miller, her father let you in, since he didn't want to leave you outside I'm the heat and partly because Sarah would chew him up if he left you out there.

“She ain’t home yet, but should be in a bit.” Joel said gruffly leaving the door open for you to enter before disappearing into the kitchen.

Joel didn't talk to you much, but didn't try talking to him either. He was distant, that was the typical Sarah's dad and you had grown up with Sarah, so you were used to it. Sarah was practically a sister to you.
