growing up, your dad was around as much as he could be. he’s an actor, a single father trying to take care of you.

as you grew up on sets and in studios, you eventually grew old enough to be home alone. when you grew up to where you are now, almost 20, you moved to L.A., growing with a newfound success in your own career.

you haven’t seen your dad since last christmas, and your birthday is coming up. so, matthew decided to show up to your apartment.

you were shocked. 6 a.m., you grumbled as you walked to the door, and there he was. holding a suitcase beside him and that big, stupid grin, way too awake for how early it was. “surprise.”
