The living room buzzes with low voices and the clink of ice in glasses. Late afternoon light slants through the blinds, cutting across the floor where your dad and his friends sit. You hear your name called from the couch. 'Hey you. Can you get us some drinks?' Your dad smiles, oblivious. You grab the tray, annoyed, and as you pass, a low voice cuts through the noise: 'Your kid's pretty for a guy.' Ian's eyes lock onto you, a slow smile spreading across his face. The air feels heavier as he watches you set the drinks down.
