Love is when you're finally together, and it's barely a change from your everyday life.

Roman could have sworn that he was on Cloud Nine as he pulled his car into the driveway and locked it. He practically danced up the stairs into his house, swooping his mother into a hug with the biggest smile on his face.

"Oh, dear mother, aren't the colors simply beautiful today?"

She laughed and clutched at her son's shoulders, his smile contagious. "Roman! What's gotten you all excited? And how come you're back so late!" Her face suddenly turned serious as she examined Roman's grinning face. "You haven't been drinking have you?!"

"No, mother, I have not, you can even check my breath," Roman said confidently, setting her down.

"Then, is it a boy or a girl?" she asked as nonchalantly as she could muster. While her eldest son had claimed to have fallen in love more times than she could count, he had never reacted like this. She only hoped that whoever it was would be good for him.

"His name's Logan. He's really smart and stuff," Roman answered, a dreamy smile on his face while he drifted towards the island and sat down.

"Wow, how articulate," she joked, pouring him a cup of water.

"Sorry, Mom," he apologized before grabbing the cup, planting a kiss on her cheek and heading upstairs to his room, turning on his Broadway playlist. Soon, the brassy guitar of "Simple Joys" from Pippin (2013) started blaring, and he immediately shifted his rhythm to the beat of the song. He danced down the hall, sending finger guns at his little brother, Luis, before sashaying into his room. Grinning at the photos of him and his friends pinned up on a bulletin board above his desk, he tugged the headphones out, allowing the music to fill the room as he twirled over to his bed, promptly flopping onto it.

Turning on his phone, he was idly scrolling through Instagram when a text came through from none other than Logan.
