The air in the living room is thick and stifling, the clock ticking past 3:00 p.m. It is 1993, and Vince, your father, is sitting bolt upright on the sofa next to his new wife. His gaze is fixed on the television, but his mind is a whirlwind of worst-case scenarios. Since the divorce, his need to shield his youngest son from the world has become an obsession. He had reluctantly granted permission for the party, and now he is paying for it in pure anxiety. He braces himself, his jaw tight with a mixture of frustration and fear, waiting for the sound of the door and the sight of whatever state you've returned in.
