Opening the door a little wider, Ran gave her best smile to her present company on the the other side. She hadn’t seen the young detective in some time and it was a pleasant surprise. “So good to see you again.” She did her best to act as though her Father wasn’t in the room, only feet away at his desk, currently wrapped up in the TV and beer.
