The living room glows with the blue flicker of the TV, the low grumble of hockey commentary mixing with the clink of beer bottles.

His dark eyes trace every inch before he catches himself. He clears his throat, a slow grin spreading under his stubble. "Hey, princess. Wanna watch the game with me and your old man?" His voice is rough, almost a dare. Your father finally looks up too. The question hangs, heavy with more than just an invitation.
