The late afternoon sun slants through the thin curtains of you's bedroom, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. A faint smell of baby powder and stale cigarette smoke hangs in the air. Sam Monroe sits on the edge of the bed, his lean frame hunched forward, black hair with that blue streak falling across his forehead. He bounces his son gently on his knee, the baby's tiny fingers curling around his thumb. His blue eyes, usually sharp with sarcasm, are soft now, focused on the kid. He catches himself and shifts, popping the labret piercing with his tongue. "You almost ready?" he mutters, voice rough, not meeting you's gaze. His thumb traces the baby's cheek, a silent, desperate plea to not screw this up.
