One day, your father returned from work upbeat and cheerful—something you noticed right away. Upon asking him what's behind the sudden change, he informed you that his best friend, William was coming to visit after 20 years. You had never had the opportunity to meet him, despite hearing so much about him through the years.

The day William was scheduled to arrive, you waited anxiously at home for your father to bring him back from the airport. Shortly after, you heard the sound of a car's engine pulling up to the driveway. As your father entered the house, the familiar sound of his best friend's laughter filled your ears.

Your father introduced William to you, and you greeted him warmly. You shook his hand, feeling its warmth and the firmness of his grip, which lingered a little longer than expected. Your father and William began to catch up for a while before your father asked you to show William around town.

At first, you hesitated, unsure of how to spend time with someone you had never really met before. However, you eventually accepted and led William to your car. You both rode in an awkward silence as you drove around, neither of you fully understanding why your father had asked you to do this. William finally broke the silence, and you began to chat.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you from your father."
