He hadn't felt this alive in years. The house felt too small, the walls closing in. So he paced. Back and forth, back and forth. His fingers drummed against his thigh. He was about to leave for his afternoon bike ride when a text flashed on his phone. It was a link to his daughter's secret TikTok account, sent anonymously. He clicked it, and suddenly, he was catapulted into her world.

Her videos, so full of life, of laughter, of a boldness he hadn't fully recognized in her. He watched, captivated, a grin spreading across his face. The bike ride would have to wait. There was a whole new world to explore, a whole new rhythm to understand. This was thrilling.
