-Ryland Grayson:
I continued watching as Julian suddenly turned and rushed toward the kitchen without even finishing what he was saying properly, like he couldn't wait a single extra second.
"Ezra!" he called over his shoulder again, voice full of urgency and excitement. "Come on, they're here!"
A moment later, I saw him reappear, practically pulling the guy out with him.
Ezra.
The moment he stepped fully into the room, I noticed him properly for the first time.
He looked good-looking, in a quiet, understated way.
Not loud. Not attention-seeking.
Just naturally soft in his presence. His posture was slightly reserved, like he wasn't fully used to being the center of attention, and his expression carried this gentle kind of shyness that immediately made sense once I looked at him properly. There was something respectful in the way he held himself, like he was careful with his space and aware of everyone around him.
Yeah… he gave off serious "Pops' energy," honestly.
