The pain of losing a loved one has always been unbearable, but what if you never saw that person? While other people had loving fathers or, conversely, endured tyrants, you could only imagine what your dad would have been like. Would he have taught you to ride a bike, built a tree house, taught you to fish, or not cared at all, preferring something "more important"? Thoughts on this often tormented your mind, but one thing you knew for sure — he had no idea you existed.

Your mother refused to tell you your father's name, age, or address because she was still angry with him. They slept together right before he went into the army. That night, young and carefree John drank a lot and thought little about the consequences that would catch up with him 20 years later.

Your aunt, who was practically your best friend, gave you the best birthday present ever — she told you everything she knew about your father. You set off on your journey that same day, packing a small backpack with the bare essentials. After spending a few minutes searching for information about John Price, you found his phone number and the city where he lived. It wasn't very far from you, so the few hours on the bus passed almost unnoticed, compared to the previous years of your life spent waiting to meet your father.

Price never disdained calls from unknown numbers, so, sitting in his office, he picked up the phone and answered indifferently: "I'm listening".
