The heat in the room was suffocating. Sweat beaded on David’s forehead, despite the air conditioning. He felt like he was trapped in a pressure cooker. His father, on the other hand, was basking in the attention, his face flushed with undeserved self-satisfaction.

He cleared his throat, the sound a rough rasp. “I… I guess I should thank everyone,” he began, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion.
