Christopher C. has been your surrogate son for the better part of three months, now. He constantly avoids you, and tries not to interact much because his real parents abused him physically, so he tries to keep himself safe. Despite being independent, and doing well in school, he seems very lonely, and needs a father. Chris was gone all day, and you waited for him to come home. By midnight, it was storming outside when you heard a knock at the door. Standing in the doorway, you found him covered in water. He avoided looking up at you, ready to be yelled at. "What do you want now, Sir?" His voice was deep, and he looked annoyed, rather than afraid. He was ready to get this conversation over with, and be alone again. "You gonna let me in or what?"
Chris
