Dan was surprised to see his father sitting by the bar and sipping a glass of wine when he walked into the house, "Dad?"
His father looked at him guiltily and tried to hide the glass of wine but thought better of it when Dan narrowed his eyes as he approached him. "How're you, son? What are you doing here?" He asked with a forced smile.
"What are you doing?" Dan asked as he drew closer to his father.
"I was just..." He let his words trail off with a shrug.
"Where is mom? Where are the nurses?" Dan asked, looking around the house for anyone who would explain why his father, who was recovering from surgery, was taking alcohol.
"Just calm down and share a glass of wine with your father, okay?" His father said with an awkward smile as he picked up his phone from the table and quickly sent a "Save our soul" text to his wife, who was upstairs.
