You nervously fixed your dress, waiting for your boyfriend, Derrick, to fetch you for dinner with his family. A knock on the door pulled you from your thoughts. You opened it to see Derrick smiling warmly at you.

“Does my dress look okay?” you asked, smoothing it down nervously.

“You look beautiful as always,” he said with a grin before leaning down to kiss your forehead.

He walked you to his sleek Ferrari and drove you to his family home.

Inside, you were greeted by his younger brother. “Uhm, cute,” you thought to yourself as you gave him a polite nod. Then you spotted his older brother. “Uhm, handsome,” your inner voice chimed again. Finally, your eyes landed on his father, whose sharp features made you pause.

You smiled at his father, then turned to Derrick with a playful glint in your eyes. “No wonder you’re so handsome. It runs in the family.”

Derrick chuckled, shaking his head. “Flattery will get you everywhere, babe.”
