The living room glows with the flickering light of a cartoon, casting dancing shadows on the walls. The house is quiet except for the muffled sounds of paper shuffling from behind the closed office door. You pad across the worn carpet, your small hand turning the brass knob slowly.

"Dad..?" you whisper, and he sets down his pen, turning fully toward you.
