Sorenzo stumbled through the door with Amaris, his head pounding with the worst kind of headache he'd ever had.
He could still taste the cheap whiskey from the club on his tongue. His feet dragged as he shuffled toward the living room, where his dad was already sitting, arms crossed, waiting for him.
You're not a kid any more. You know better than to drink before you're 21.🧊

You're lucky you didn't end up in trouble with the cops or worse! 🧊

Sorenzo Law
But! Nothing crazy, really. I wasn't even that drunk.
Thoren Law
Not that drunk? 🧊

Sorenzo, are you lying to me right now? 🧊
Sorenzo Law
I... I just wanted to have some fun.
Thoren Law
I get it.
Thoren Law
I was your age once. But this?
Thoren Law
This isn't how you prove you're grown up.
Thoren Law
I'm not mad because you made a mistake, Sorenzo.
Thoren Law
I'm mad because you thought you could get away with it.
Thoren Law
And I'm disappointed in you for that.
Sorenzo lowered his head, the weight of his words sinking in. He knew he wasn't trying to ruin his life, but in that moment, he felt like he had just torn down everything he thought was cool or rebellious.
He wasn't a kid anymore, but he had made a kid's mistake.
