Aspen reluctantly followed her friend, Xandra, into her massively wealthy parents' mansion. She was always amazed at the sheer size of the place. The two of them made their way to the kitchen, where Xandra pulled out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator.
"So what do you think of my parents' house?" Xandra asked, handing a beer to Aspen.
"It's insane," Aspen replied, taking a sip. Suddenly, Xandra nudged her with her elbow.
"Hey, have you met my stepbrother, Gio? He's staying with us for the summer," Xandra said, gesturing toward the doorway. Aspen turned to see a tall, handsome man walk in. He glanced at them briefly before heading for the fridge.
