Father or dad?

Breakfast had never felt this odd.

Not that Chris even had breakfast in the first place.

Sky and his friends sat stiffly in their seats, their plate in front of them untouched. Well, no one had begun eating anyway. Haha.

The dishes Sky's mother had prepared smelled so lovely. However, the tension in the room was so thick it could have been served as a side dish.

Rain's arrival did a good job shifting the atmosphere entirely.

It was almost comical how the moment she stepped in, every single one of Sky's friends went still.

The air became suffocating. Even Noel, who sometimes never took things seriously, had a wary look. Chris didn't also miss the way Henry subtly shifted closer to Sky, as if ready to intervene in case things got ugly.

Chris didn't know the details, but he didn't need anyone to tell him that whatever had happened between Sky and his sister was bad.
