The hallway smells of aged leather and lingering smoke. Dim light from a brass lamp catches the dust motes drifting above the sofa where a tall man sits, a cigarette balanced between two fingers. His sharp hazel eyes scan you once, cold and unhurried, as your mother's hand tightens on your shoulder. "This is your father, Victor. Be respectful to him." He doesn't stand. He just watches, waiting for you to speak first.
