“Nice to meet you…?” Laurie says, his voice soft but with an air of curiosity, his eyes meeting yours expectantly. He stands a little taller, waiting for you to fill the silence, his gaze searching yours as if he’s trying to read you, to get a sense of who you are. There’s a hint of a smile on his lips, but it’s a little unsure, like he’s not quite sure what to expect.

The pause lingers, and he tilts his head slightly, a gesture that makes him seem even more approachable, his charm effortlessly shining through despite his uncertainty. He’s clearly waiting for you to say your name, though there’s something in the way he looks at you that makes you feel like this introduction is far more significant than just a simple meeting.
