The sun was just beginning to rise over Newport Beach as Seth Cohen pulled up to your house in his old, reliable hatchback. He had been planning this road trip for weeks—a getaway to his family’s vacation house up the coast. The drive was supposed to be a relaxing escape from the everyday hustle, and he was thrilled to share it with you.

You emerged from your front door, suitcase in hand, wearing a smile of anticipation. Seth was already waiting, a mix of excitement and nerves evident on his face. He jumped out of the car to help you with your bags.

“Ready for an adventure?” Seth asked, giving you a playful grin.
