speaks softly, looking away I... I've got something to tell ya.
Ryan
8/11/2024
leans in close, curiosity piqued What's up? You look like you've seen a ghost.
John
8/11/2024
stammers I... I... Well, the thing is... I'm your father. I mean, I'm really your father.
Ryan
8/11/2024
what?
John
8/11/2024
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his voice Look, I know this comes as a shock, but it's true. I am your father.
Ryan
8/11/2024
are you joking?
John
8/11/2024
grabs Ryan's arm, his voice filled with desperation No, I'm not joking! I've been searching for you for years, trying to find a way to reconnect.
Ryan
8/11/2024
why?
John
8/11/2024
sighs deeply, his grip on Ryan's arm tightening Why? Because you're my son, dammit! And I couldn't stand being apart from you any longer.
Ryan
8/11/2024
how?
John
8/11/2024
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated How? You think I'd just randomly know where to find you?
Ryan
8/11/2024
surprised So, you've been keeping tabs on me all this time?
John
8/11/2024
nods sheepishly Yeah, I guess you could say that. I've always known you were out there, somewhere. But I never thought I'd actually find you like this.
Ryan
8/11/2024
laughs Wow, Dad. You're full of surprises. But seriously, what's your game?
John
8/11/2024
lets go of Ryan's arm, looking hurt My game? I don't have any game, Ryan. I've been living in hell, not knowing if I ever had a son.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smirks Living in hell, huh? That's one way to put it. So, what's next?
John
8/11/2024
sits down, looking defeated I... I don't know what's next. I just... I want to be there for you, Ryan. I want to make up for all the lost time.
Ryan
8/11/2024
do you even know who I am?
John
8/11/2024
pauses, his eyes filled with determination No, I don't know who you are, but I want to. I want to know everything about you.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smirks Well, let's start with the basics then.
John
8/11/2024
leans in closer, his eyes sparkling with intensity Okay, tell me everything. Who are you, Ryan? What makes you tick?
Ryan
8/11/2024
chuckles Alright, Dad. Buckle up.
John
8/11/2024
leans back, his expression turning serious No, Ryan, I'm serious. I need to know everything. I want to understand where I went wrong and how I can make things right.
Ryan
8/11/2024
looks at John, his eyes filled with both curiosity and caution Alright, Dad. I'll give you the CliffsNotes version.
John
8/11/2024
leans forward, his hands clasped together That's fine, Ryan. Give me anything. I'll take it. Just start talking.
Ryan
8/11/2024
sighs Fine, here it is. I'm a cop. Been in the force for five years now.
John
8/11/2024
pauses, his eyes widening in surprise A cop? You're a cop? laughs nervously That's... that's quite a twist of fate, isn't it?
Ryan
8/11/2024
raises an eyebrow Yeah, life's full of surprises, isn't it? So, what's your deal?
John
8/11/2024
straightens up, his voice filled with determination My deal? Well, my deal is that I've been given a second chance, Ryan.
Ryan
8/11/2024
laughs A second chance? Don't we all get one?
John
8/11/2024
stands up, pacing back and forth Not like this, Ryan. I've been given a chance to make things right. To be the father I should have been from the start.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smiles wryly Second chances, huh? Well, I guess we all deserve them. So, what's your plan, Dad?
John
8/11/2024
stops pacing, turns to face Ryan with determination My plan, Ryan, is to become the father you deserve.
Ryan
8/11/2024
laughs Become the father I deserve, huh? That's a tall order, old man. How you gonna do that?
John
8/11/2024
pauses, his voice filled with conviction I will start by being there for you, Ryan. No more running away.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smiles There you go, old man. Being there, that's the first step. But you gotta show me, prove it.
John
8/11/2024
grabs Ryan's hand, his grip firm I will, Ryan. I will show you and prove it. I won't let you down again.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smirks Prove it, huh? Alright, old man. Show me what you got.
John
8/11/2024
releases Ryan's hand, his eyes filled with determination I will, Ryan. I'll start by making amends for all my past mistakes.
Ryan
8/11/2024
laughs Making amends, huh? That's a good start. But don't think a simple apology cuts it, old man.
John
8/11/2024
nods, his expression serious I know, Ryan. I know I can't just wave a magic wand and fix everything.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smiles Damn right, old man. We gotta earn it, one step at a time.
John
8/11/2024
grabs Ryan's hand again, his voice filled with determination I understand, Ryan. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your trust and forgiveness.
Ryan
8/11/2024
laughs Trust and forgiveness, huh? Well, old man, that's a long road ahead. But I'm willing to listen. Let's get started.
John
8/11/2024
grips Ryan's hand tightly Yes, Ryan. We have a long way to go, but I'm ready to face it head-on. Together, we'll rebuild our relationship and create a future filled with trust and understanding.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smiles Rebuild our relationship, huh? That's a tall order, old man. But I'm willing to give it a shot. Let's get to work.
John
8/11/2024
lets go of Ryan's hand, his face lighting up with a hopeful smile Thank you, Ryan. I won't let you down.
Ryan
8/11/2024
smirks You better not, old man. I'm putting you on probation. One slip-up, and you're back in the doghouse.
John
8/11/2024
nods, his expression determined I understand, Ryan. I won't let you down. I'll prove myself every day, starting today.
