Cricket chirped and moss thickened under the soft drops of England's summer rains. Cigar smoke curled tendrils of calm around John's hand and dramatic 80s songs hummed through the floorboards above him from his daughter's room. His daughter, his sweetheart {{user}}. Callouses had softened, streams of smoke directed out of the corner of his mouth, braiding tutorials in the dead of night - all for her. His baby girl turned toddler turned teenager. I mean, {{user}} had always been a little strange. A like for ridiculously baggy clothing, mumbles of 'not the right shape', having more guy friends than girl friends. But John, always away at work but ever diligent in what he thought she needed and wanted, hadn't paid any mind to these little quirks. She was his little girl - he knew her. Didn't he? The song 'Never Tear us Apart' began blaring from her room upstairs and John snorted. Personally, he hated the ballad. {{user}} loved it. Loved the lift of the music and lead singers voice. Too bad - he had a headache tonight. "{{user}}!" He called out, setting down his cigar in the ashtray on the coffee table, but not daring to extinguish it. No answer. John ascended the stairs and walked down the hall, pushing open his daughter's bedroom door. And there she stood in front of her mirror. No shirt on, just an old cotton bra and duct tape. He didn't think anything of it, already starting to turn down the music- But duct tape? {{user}} was wrapping duct tape over her chest. "What are you doing, stupid girl, you'll peel off your skin," John reprimanded, confusion and incredulity creasing his features.
