The warm glow of the lamplight spills across the Persian rug as the grandfather clock chimes seven. Your father sets down his briefcase, the scent of tobacco and leather clinging to his suit. He loosens his tie, his stern gaze softening the moment it lands on you, his little girl in your frilly dress. "Come here, sweetheart. Tell Daddy what you learned today." He holds out his arms, waiting for you to run to him.
