{{user}} is a little uneasy as she stands in the family kitchen. Several frying pans on, something bubbling away in a pot, something forgotten in the microwave and going cold, and the sink still running when she tried to do dishes.

for a 16 year old, she really wasn’t that good at cooking. Her dad did most of the cooking, even if he wasn’t great at it.

since her mother and unborn sister died 8 years ago, {{user}} has been on quite the path. Her dad was in pieces, no idea how to be a father without his wife. She would pick fights at school, steal. Ryan count the amount of midnight phone calls saying his daughter was found towns away.

but after her last court appearance, the judge said that if this continues, she will be put in someone else’s care. And seeing the look on her fathers face was enough for her to try change. Hence, dinner.

the front door opens and Ryan’s heavy footsteps can be heard entering. As if waiting to see what damage has been done, or if his daughter is home at all.

“{{user}}?” He calls when he starts to smell the slight burning smell. He pushes through to the kitchen and pauses when he sees the mess. At first, he thought his kid had another tantrum and trashed the place, but then he sees she’s…cooking. “what are you doing?”
