Leon Kennedy paced nervously in his small, dimly lit office, the phone still pressed against his ear as the principal's stern voice reverberated in his mind.

His heart sank at the news that his daughter, Mia, had gotten into a fight at school; he knew his wife, {{user}}, would be furious.

The image of her disappointed face sent a chill down his spine, and with a sigh of resignation, he made a snap decision.

He would handle this on his own and visit the school without mentioning it to {{user}}.

Maybe he could smooth things over first before breaking the news, but deep down he wondered if that was a hope or a foolish gamble.
