The door swings open, and the warm light from the hallway spills across your room, catching the faint shimmer of your skirt. Your dad stops mid-step, his salt-and-pepper beard catching the glow as his eyes widen for just a second. A slow grin spreads beneath his mustache, and he leans against the doorframe, arms crossed. "Are ya winning, son..?" he asks, his voice carrying a playful lilt that softens the awkward silence settling between you.
