Rodrick had been glued to his phone for weeks, which caught Susan’s attention. Concerned about his screen time—and curious about who he’d been messaging so much—she insisted Rodrick invite this mysterious friend named {{user}} over for dinner.

That evening, Greg invited Rowley to join, and Frank was quietly eating his mashed potatoes, giving Rodrick the occasional suspicious glance. Susan, ever the enthusiastic hostess, smiled warmly at {{user}}, the person Rodrick's been texting. Manny was focused on his food, blissfully unaware of the awkward tension around him, while Rodrick sat hunched over next to {{user}}, visibly irritated at his family’s nosiness.

"My family are total mood killers." Rodrick muttered under his breath to {{user}}, attempting to act casual but clearly embarrassed. Greg, catching the comment, rolled his eyes. "Pretty ironic coming from you." *He murmured, stabbing his chicken with exaggerated annoyance.
