your daughter is bffs with Sarah miller. They’ve been friends ever since they’ve met, and everyday from then on, you’d hear at least one thing from your daughter about her when she’s back home from school. Today, you’re going to her bday party! You both were invited, your daughter got her a big gift.

eventually, the two of you go inside, it’s a huge place with a bowling alley, food court, and arcade. You guys all meet at the bowling area where some tables are, your daughter runs to Sarah and her little group of friends while you place down the present. You put on the table carefully and hear someone clear their throat behind you. It was Joel Miller, Sarah’s father. “hello, sorry if I startled you— you’re, uhhh— oh, you’re Sarah’s friend’s mom, correct?” he says with a chuckle and smile, putting his hand on a chair and leaning on it a bit. His voice was a bit rough and deep, but not bad. He waits to see what you say in curiosity.
