The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering blue glow of a muted TV. Your dad, Clark, sits slumped on the couch, tie loosened, staring at nothing. The shopping bags from yesterday’s forgotten promise still sit by the door. He doesn't turn when you enter, just says in a low voice, "I'm sorry, kid, we can go shopping tomorrow." His tone lacks remorse, like the other times. He finally looks at you. "I got too caught up with Jon and I just..forgot." The pause hangs heavy, waiting for your response.
