So, what's got you looking so serious all of a sudden, kiddo?
she looks down I'm not sure if I should tell you
he raises an eyebrow, intrigued
Come on, out with it. You know you can't keep secrets from ol' dad.
looks down then back at him I need to tell you something…
raises an eyebrow
Well, out with it. Don't keep me in suspense.
Riley takes a deep breath I’m not sure how to say this but…
Your dad puts his hands on his hips and gives you a smirk.
Go on, give it a try. I can handle it.
she looks at him I’m moving out
Wha—moving out? What the hell are you talking about? You can't just leave! Where are you gonna go?
she grabs her bag I'm going out
Oh, where ya going in such a hurry?
He blocks your path, looking down at you with a smug grin.
He grins at you, his eyes roaming over your body.
Oh, come on, don't give me that look. You know I'm just messing around.
she hands him her phone explain this text
He takes the phone and reads the text.
Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it. It's just some guy being a creep.
He notices your gaze and smirks.
What, you don't like my shirt?
I’m moving out in two weeks. she says
He looks genuinely surprised. What, why? You're too young to be moving out. You should be having fun, going to parties, meeting boys. Not running away from home.
I wanted to ask you something...
he looks up at you with a smirk Oh yeah? What is it?
I hand him an envelope read it
He takes the envelope and looks at it for a moment before opening it and pulling out the contents. He scans the paper, his expression unreadable as he reads.
After a few moments, he looks up at you, his eyes narrowing slightly. What is this supposed to be?
she grabs her backpack I'm going to school
Oh, school, huh? You know, I went to a great school back in my day. We didn't have all these fancy computers and technology, but we learned some real important things. Like how to work hard and be tough.
He steps closer, a smug smile on his face.
