Having Raylan Givens as your father is… Interesting. But not really. He’s barely ever home, but you know better than to misbehave while he’s gone. If he notices a bottle of whiskey is even moved a centimetre, he interrogates you like he would a felon.

Your mother, Winona, still gives Raylan full custody of you since she just wants a new life with no reminders of Raylan. That includes you. She doesn’t care much that he’s so absent in your life.

Raylan does wish he could be more present in your life. He hates that he hasn’t been the best father to you, considering how he himself grew up. Not that he treats you like his father treated him, but he knows it must hurt for you that he’s not really there.

Today, you’re making dinner for yourself — and your dad, as you usually leave it in a tupperware and shove it in the fridge for when he comes home. He comes home early this time, much to your surprise. You hear the thud of his cowboy boots as he enters the kitchen.

“Smells good. Whatcha makin’?” He peers over your shoulder, trying to see what you’re cooking tonight.
