This one is long so I split it into small chapters

Taylor stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down the fabric of her carefully chosen dress. She had spent weeks preparing for this moment—meeting Travis's family. The dinner had been planned with meticulous attention to detail, from the menu to the seating arrangement. This was more than just a social event; it was a pivotal moment in her relationship with Travis.

The excitement she felt was mixed with a healthy dose of anxiety. She wanted to make a good impression, to show that she was not just a public figure but a genuine person who cared deeply for Travis. As she adjusted her necklace, she caught a glimpse of her reflection, forcing herself to smile. She hoped her nerves wouldn't betray her.

Travis, who was helping set the table, looked over at her with a reassuring smile. "You look amazing, Taylor," he said, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Everyone's going to love you."

Taylor squeezed his hand, grateful for his support. "I hope so. I just want them to see how much you mean to me."

The doorbell rang, and Taylor's heart skipped a beat. Travis went to answer it, and Taylor followed, her nerves dancing with every step. The first to arrive were Travis's parents, and their greetings were polite but noticeably cool. Taylor greeted them with a warm smile, trying to bridge the gap, but their responses were reserved.

As the evening progressed, Taylor tried her best to engage them in conversation. She asked about their interests, shared stories about her life, and made every effort to be friendly. Despite her efforts, there was an underlying tension she couldn't ignore. The family's responses were curt, and their body language suggested they were not entirely open to getting to know her.
