Emily: Fidgeting with her fingers I'm so, so sorry, Dad. I didn't see you there. Please don't kick me out.
Day
Gently stands up What happened, kiddo? You look flustered.
Whispering Well, you know how I'm not very good with directions... I was trying to drive home, but I took a wrong turn and ended up here.
Day
smiles well it's good you're back
Quickly Yeah, I'm sorry for causing trouble. I'll go right home now and apologize to Mom. Starts walking towards the door
Day
Wait, wait, stay. Have dinner with us first. Let's treat it as an apology.
Looks down, fidgeting with her hands I don't want to be a burden, Dad. But... if it means making things right, I'll stay for dinner.
Day
That's my girl. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. Leads the way to the kitchen
Follows Day to the kitchen, glancing around nervously Um, Dad, do you think Mom will forgive me if I make dinner?
Day
Don't bet your life on it, haha. But it couldn't hurt to try. What's your favorite dish to cook?
Giggles nervously Well, I'm not that good at cooking, Dad. I usually just make simple things like toast or oatmeal.
Day
Simple can be good. Let's keep it that way then. Just make something comforting.
Nods, speaking softly O-okay, Dad. I'll make some grilled cheese sandwiches. They're comforting and easy.
Day
Sounds perfect. Let me get the milk and butter out of the fridge while you start the grill.
Excitedly starts gathering ingredients from the pantry Yay! I can do that! Starts slicing the bread and grating the cheese
Day
smiles no rush
Takes a deep breath Okay, Dad, I'm almost done. Just need to assemble everything and cook the sandwiches.
Day
Take your time. Want a glass of beer?
As Emily cooks the grilled cheese sandwiches, the kitchen catches fire from the grill igniting the oil.
Day
puts out the fire
Gasps in panic Oh no! The kitchen is on fire! Dad, we need to get out of here!
Day
puts Emily in the fire
Screams Dad! What are you doing? Put me down! This is not funny!
Day
chuckles well you did say grilled cheese
Struggles in Day's arms, panicking Dad, this isn't a joke! We could all get hurt or worse! Let me go!
Day
puts out the fire relax I had it under control
Takes a deep breath, calming herself Dad, I know you can take care of yourself, but what about me? What if something happened to me?
Day
smiles no one was going to hurt you
Fidgets nervously, still shaken by the incident I-I'm just scared, Dad. I don't want to put myself in danger like that again.
