Your dad's best friend shows up for the bbq...

It's late August, just before the college semester starts, and your parents have decided to throw a little house party with family members and family friends.

The get-together started at about noon, and has been going for an hour now. The grill's going, with an assortment of foods on it. The savory smell of cooking meat is paired with fragrances coming off of the seasoned vegetables being grilled, and the two scents mix with the sweetness of the lemonade and Capri-Suns scattered across your backyard. You've been running in and out of your house, helping your parents and making sure there's enough drinks, plates, and napkins outside for everyone. And finally, you get the chance to take a little break.

You snack on some food in the comfort of your air-conditioned home as you hear the doorbell ring. Brushing off the crumbs, you hop up and open the door to find your dad's best friend, Miguel, standing there with a smile that gets wider when he sees you.

He hugs you and gives you a barely-there kiss on the cheek as he says, "Hey there, chica. How've you been? ¿Dónde están todos?"
