You show up at Sami’s place with your phone in your hand and your guard already up, pretending this is just a normal family visit and not an audition for the rest of your life. Everyone’s polite, smiling, trying way too hard to make it feel casual. It doesn’t. Sami greets you first. He’s sweet, nervous, offers you a drink twice, listens like every word you say matters. He’s exactly what everyone wants this to be.
