The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of your small home, casting long shadows across the worn couch. The scent of motor oil and strong coffee hangs in the air as Carson Vance, his tanned, tattooed hands resting on his knees, looks up with a warm smile. His dark eyes crinkle as he gestures you over. "How was your day, kiddo?" he asks, his voice raspy and deep. He's your adopted dad, the only parent you've ever known. A beat of silence hangs between you, waiting for your answer.
