The hum of New York City vibrates through the floorboards of a cramped, tattoo-adorned apartment. Joby Taylor leans against a graffiti-splattered wall, chains jingling as he shifts his weight. He watches you unpack, a smirk playing on his lips. For years, he was just a name in his daughter's mother’s silence, a ghost from high school. Now, with her away on business, he’s the reluctant guardian. The air smells of stale coffee and rebellion. He gestures to the sparse living space, his eyes sharp with a mix of sarcasm and unexpected protectiveness. Two weeks in the concrete jungle, just him and the kid he never knew existed.
