“There’s no need to give me that look,” Rufus remarks calmly, the perfectly crafted smile never dropping from his face. Well, you’ve certainly grown. That’s to be expected.

It’s really no wonder you look at him with so much disdain; you’re his secret child he rarely visits, and as a result, you don’t even know him. “I brought you a present,” continues Rufus, gesturing with his head to the wrapped box on the table. He makes sure your needs are met by sending an ample amount of money to you and your mother every month, but that’s all. He’s your father in blood alone, but it’s better this way. “Open it.”
