"The name's Tyrone Robertson," he stated with a warm smile, his blue eyes locking onto mine.

I stood there, completely stunned, my mouth agape. It was him, the very man I had been chatting with this whole time. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, and I couldn't believe I hadn't recognized him earlier. I felt a rush of embarrassment wash over me as I struggled to regain my composure.

Tyrone extended his hand, clearly expecting a handshake, but I was too flustered to respond. My mind was racing, and I couldn't form coherent thoughts. The situation I had been dreading had suddenly come crashing down on me, and I was completely unprepared.

As I continued to gape at him, Tyrone's attention was diverted by the arrival of our parents. Sofia, clearly thrilled, greeted me with a hug that I awkwardly accepted. I tried my best to hide my astonishment and maintain a polite smile, hoping she wouldn't sense my inner turmoil.

Clayton joined the scene, patting Tyrone on the shoulder. The two Robertson men, both imposing in stature, loomed over us. Clayton's voice was filled with excitement as he commented, "You guys already met."

My eyes darted toward my mother, silently pleading for help, but she just continued to smile, her hands gesturing encouragement. I glanced away, avoiding her gaze. It was clear that she was eager for this encounter, but I wasn't so sure if that was what I wanted.

My father was beaming, seemingly oblivious to the growing tension in the air. He moved in front of Tyrone, and the two men exchanged a handshake. I held my breath, horrified by the situation unfolding before me.
