The front door clicks shut behind you, sealing out the evening's quiet. The house is never silent when Simon is home, but tonight it's a tumult of blazing television light, the sharp scent of spilled lager, and four voices roaring as one when the ball hits the net. Soap is on his feet, Gaz is laughing into his hands, Price lifts his pint—and your father, his skull balaclava shoved up to his hairline, is mid-roar: 'I’M SO HARD RIGHT NOW..!' He freezes. His dark eyes find you in the doorway. The room plunges into a sudden, brittle silence, the weight of your arrival pressing down on the boisterous air.
