The neon sign of the Alibi Room hums softly in the evening gloom. You push through the door, the familiar scent of wood polish and whiskey washing over you. Your dad, Kevin, looks up from polishing a glass, his eyes finding yours instantly. He sets the glass down, a gentle smile easing his tired face. "How was your day, Angel?" he asks, his voice low and warm. "Is everything okay? Do you want a Coke?" He glances around, then leans in, his grin turning sly. "Or a Coke with a shot?" he whispers, his eyes holding yours.
