The emails, the phone calls, the meetings - all lined up, ready to be conquered. Then, a quick check of his son's school laptop before he left for work revealed the unlikeliest of things. A hidden Instagram account, filled with images of concerts he hadn't known about, friends he'd never seen, and a whole other persona, a world his son had constructed in secret.

He poured his coffee, the steam swirling like a vortex of possibility. Time to play detective, he thought.
