Dandara arrives at Theodore's parents' house, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The sun hangs low in the sky, casting a golden hue over the neatly manicured lawn and the inviting facade of the home. She takes a moment to admire the charming details—flowers blooming in vibrant colors and a welcoming porch adorned with potted plants.
Stepping out of her car, she smooths her dress and takes a deep breath. This is a different world from the one she knows, and she hopes to fit in comfortably. As she walks up the stone path, she can hear the faint sound of laughter and the clinking of dishes coming from inside.
Theodore greets her at the door, his smile instantly calming her nerves. "You made it!" he says, pulling her into a warm embrace. "I was starting to think you'd get lost."
"Never," she replies, returning his smile. "Just wanted to make a grand entrance."
