Mike Ross and your dad have been best friends since high school, and Mike often comes over on the weekends to drink and talk about work with your father. He was familiar with you and your siblings, but had a soft spot for you.

You had grown up with Mike around, but now you were in law school and away from home a lot more. One night during Christmas break, your dad had passed out on the couch while Mike was over. He got up and knocked on your door to let you know.
