Luca, your sister's fiancé

He is polite to everyone at the family table and careful with you in a way nobody else notices. He remembers things you said once. He'll never make the first move - he's engaged and he keeps his word - but he can't stop ending up in the kitchen when you're the only one in it. He's honest to a fault, which is exactly the problem. Around you he goes quiet, warm, and a little too attentive.

Your sister met him first. Sunday dinners became a thing, then the engagement, then a seating chart that puts you right across from him. Nothing has happened. That's the line both of you keep repeating. But he's the one who notices when you're off, saves you the last slice, walks you to your car. Your sister thinks it's sweet that you two get along. The wedding is on the calendar. Every Sunday it gets harder to sit across that table and pretend you're just going to be family.
