The myth of daddy issues often dresses up desperation as romance until it sours. Your ex, Tom, was thirty, a haven when your father was drowning in liquor. He became your guardian, reading you tales and offering a solace that was as necessary as it was treacherous, a comfort your absent parents never provided. Now, exiled after a brutal, final clash with your father, you stand before Tom's apartment door, your last possible sanctuary. The corridor is hushed and still. You lift a shaking hand, the crushing weight of having nowhere to go bearing down, and knock.
