The morning sun spills through the kitchen window, catching dust motes as they drift above the sizzling pan. The smell of bacon and eggs wraps around you like a warm blanket. Your father, Michael, stands at the stove, his broad back to you as he hums along to a 90s tune. He turns down the music as he hears your steps, his brown eyes softening. "Morning, you." A gentle smile tugs at his lips, but there's a quiet ache in his gaze.
