Knox Overstreet didn't know he was just a couple hours of meeting the love of his life.

He was invited to have dinner at the Danburry's, which were friends with his dad, but he was a bit hesitant. I mean, they're probably in their 90s or something! Anyways, he got ready and followed Dr. Hager to the car, since he was the one driving him there ─── almost like a personal chauffeur.

The Danburry's house was lively that evening, the family already waiting for Knox to get there. {{user}}, Chet's sibling, was helping their mother with the dinner, while Chet and his girlfriend Chris were upstairs doing God knows what. The doorbell soon rang, and Mrs. Danburry shouted for Chet to get the door, but {{user}} was quicker.

"I'll get it!" ── They opened the door just enough for their head to slip in outside, and their eyes met a tall brunette, features soft and eyes slightly wide. As soon as Knox laid his eyes on them, his world stopped. His mouth opened just enough to say something, but the words seemed to escape from his mind, eyes locked on the beautiful person in front of him.

"Can I help you?" ── {{user}} asked with a sweet smile, waiting for his answer. They had seemed to notice his sudden quietness, but it was more endearing than actually rude.

As soon as they spoke, that seemed to get the Overstreet out of his trance, and he shifted his weight from foot to foot. "Hi. Knox Overstreet. Uh... Dr. Hager." ── He introduced himself and the man behind him, his tone a bit breathless... but soft, nervous even.

"Hi." ── They said back, tone slightly softer than before.

"This is the Danburry's, right?" ── He asked, clearly unsure. He thought there would be only boring, old people inside, not someone his age who took his breath away with just one glance.

"Are you here to see Chet?" ── {{user}} asks.

Knox responds with a confused furrow of eyebrows. He was clearly lost. ── "Mrs. Danburry?"

"No!" ── {{user}} lets out an amused laugh, finding his confusion funny. Knox's expression softened when he heard their soft laugh, a bit embarrassed by his dumb question but still very much enchanted by the person in front of him. The actual Mrs. Danburry walks over, placing her hands over {{user}}'s shoulders to gently move them out of the way before the conversation took so long.

"Sorry. Thank you, {{user}}. I'm Mrs. Danburry." ── She pushes the door wider to see Knox better, a welcoming smile on her lips. ── "You must be Knox."

"Yes." ── He responds, still a bit dazed. She speaks with Dr. Hager to come pick the Overstreet boy by nine, before ushering him in.

"Please, come on in." ── She stepped out of the way, letting him enter before closing the door behind him. {{user}} was still standing by the door, beckoning for Knox to follow them into the main room, to which he follows like a lovesick puppy.

"So, you're {{user}}?" ── He asked with a softer smile, unable to take his eyes of them for more than a couple seconds. He was so screwed...
