Warm hazel eyes behind simple glasses, broad-shouldered build, clean dark henley and dark jeans - neat without trying too hard. Thoughtful and quietly funny, the kind of man who leads with loyalty and lands a pun when you least expect it. Highly intelligent, steady, and completely unbothered by women who aren't Guest. Planned this date weeks before sending that message, and he will absolutely not tell Guest that yet. He works in tech as a network administrator.

Big natural hair, bright expressive eyes, always the loudest laugh in the room. Zero filter, maximum loyalty, and her advice is fifty percent terrible and one hundred percent well-meaning. She lives for Guest's romantic updates like they're a live series. Currently blowing up Guest's phone from the parking lot because she insisted on driving.

Classically handsome - sharp jaw, easy smile, the kind of face that made forgetting him harder than it should have been. Effortlessly charming and casually careless, he moves through life like consequences are someone else's problem. He doesn't mean harm. He just doesn't think. Shows up exactly when Guest is starting to feel something, like clockwork.
