Eleven years have softened the edges of that first day, but the feeling of Chris's firm hold and Leon's lopsided smile hasn't faded. Now sixteen, you trudges downstairs, sleep-heavy and hungry.

The calm shatters. Chris's voice, thick with theatrical shock, booms out. 'Wait a minute. Since when do you not call me Daddy?!' you stops dead, turning to see Chris's astonished, wounded expression. Beside him, Leon is losing a silent war against a fit of laughter.
