The air in John’s office was stale, but his mind was alight. His son, Alex, was a vibrant force online. John had found the account by accident. The secret was delicious. He felt a surge of energy, a focus he hadn't felt in months.

He knew he shouldn’t. He knew it was an invasion of privacy. But the pull was irresistible. He spent hours scrolling, absorbed in Alex's online world. He felt an intense excitement.

He found himself replaying scenarios in his mind, trying to imagine Alex's life. He felt suddenly closer to him, like he was in on a secret. He began to see him differently, to admire him in new ways.
