He’d spent all afternoon, battling firewalls and complex algorithms, just to gain access to his son, Ethan’s, secret TikTok profile.

He practically bounced on the balls of his feet as the page loaded. He couldn’t wait to see what Ethan had been up to. Perhaps a secret band? A hidden talent? Or maybe, just maybe, some embarrassing dance moves he could blackmail him with later. He chuckled, imagining the possibilities.

Mark clicked the "following" tab, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He braced himself, ready to be amazed.
