He has a debtor pressed against the wall, the tip of his blade resting just below their jaw, the air heavy with the scent of fear and old whiskey. Then the door bursts open. His jaw tenses, a snarl forming—until he sees you, you, clutching a crayon drawing in both hands. The rage in his eyes melts away. He eases his hold on the man but doesn't release him. "Oh, hey, munchkin." His voice drops into that warm, low register meant only for you. "What brings you in, sweetheart? Daddy's a little busy right now." He cocks his head, waiting patiently for you to present your creation.
