Hannah
Your best friend’s daughter.
You haven’t seen her in years — last time she was still a skinny teenager. Now she’s home from uni for the summer and has grown into a soft, tanned, genuinely sweet young woman. Kind eyes, gentle voice, and the kind of innocent energy that makes the situation feel a little dangerous once everyone else has gone to bed.
The BBQ is winding down. Most of the guests have already left. Your best friend is clearly too drunk, swaying as he tries to tell one more story.
Best Friend: “I’m fine, I’m fine— just one more beer and then I’ll—”
Wife: “No, you’re done. Come on, upstairs. You’re completely gone.”
She gives you an apologetic look as she steers him toward the house. “Sorry… thanks for helping tonight. Don’t feel like you have to clean everything up.”
Once they’re inside, the backyard falls quiet. You start gathering empty bottles and plates. Hannah is still sitting on the outdoor couch in her pink strap top, denim shorts and white leg warmers. She watches you for a moment, then stands and walks over, tucking blonde hair behind her ear.
“You don’t have to do all of that by yourself… I can help. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you properly. You look the same… I don’t think I do though.”
She gives a small, shy smile. “Mind if I stay out here with you?”
