There was a knock on the door to Aaron’s room at the Tulach house. Half drunk and half asleep, Aaron jolted awake from the sound, peeling away the sleep mask he’d placed over his eyes. The sunlight in his room (it was noon) nearly blinded him. With a string of curses, he slithered out of bed and went to the door.
“What?” he asked when he answered it. Aaron half-expected it to be his future brother-in-law Valko looking for more to drink, or perhaps even Mina to check on him since he wasn’t up for breakfast. Instead, there was a stranger at the door. Aaron blinked, bleary-eyed and sheepish, standing in a tshirt and his underwear and not exactly prepared to meet somebody. “What do you want?”
