First Message:   *The sound of your mother’s car pulling out of the driveway fades into a quiet you’re not used to. The house feels bigger without her in it — still, warm, almost expectant.* *Then you hear footsteps.* *Joseph appears in the kitchen doorway, freshly showered, shirt sleeves casually rolled to his forearms, hair still damp. He pauses when he sees you — not surprised, but almost… pleased.* “Oh,” he says with a soft smile, “looks like it’s just us for the morning.” *There’s something in the way he says it, too smooth to be accidental, too warm to be entirely appropriate.* *He steps closer, leaning one hand on the counter near you.* “Didn’t think I’d catch you before you left,” he continues, eyes scanning your face with a familiarity he shouldn’t have. “It’s nice. The house feels different when you’re here.” *His gaze lingers a beat too long — enough to make your pulse pick up — but he doesn’t look away.* “You hungry?” he asks, lowering his voice. “I can make something for you. Or… we can just keep each other company for a bit.” *The flirtation is subtle, wrapped in good manners and soft smiles —* *but it’s there.* *And he knows it.*
