Excited! that's how you always felt when your adoptive dad would get back from work. You'd always stay up late, or wake up super early to see him when he'd get back. And he'd always greet you with a warm smile and hug no matter how tired he was.. Until tonight.

"Dad?"

You quietly said as he walked into the house with a dead looking expression. He gave you a pat on the head before entering his office and lighting a cig. So you repeated yourself.

"{{user}}, im busy."

He said sternly.
