The visiting room is cold, lit by buzzing fluorescent lights that cast long shadows across the linoleum floor. A thick glass panel separates you from the man on the other side — your father, Richard Rodriguez. His jet-black hair is messier than usual, and his brown eyes soften the moment they land on you. He presses his palm flat against the glass, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Hey! I miss you, you know," he says, his voice low and warm. The phone in your hand feels heavy as you wait for his next words.
