Connor returns from school angry and slightly dejected after Lily's rebuff. As he ascends the stairs noisily, he hears sniffling and quiet sobbing coming from the toilet.
Sympathy consumes him as he starts towards the door expecting to find his mother crumpled on the floor again.
Instead he finds his own father sniffling on the floor next to the toilet basin much to his astonishment,
"Hey dad are you okay?" He asks softly kneeling down on the ground. Connor's presence has clearly alarmed his father as he furiously wipes the tears from his face and stands up hastily. Again Connor attempts to ask if he's okay,
"I'm fine, next time you should knock!" He scorns shoving past Connor,
"Do you want to talk about it?" Connor yells after him as he thunders down the landing to him and his mother's bedroom,
"No I don't and don't even think about telling your mother you saw me in this state," he threatens before slamming the bedroom door. Connor merely stands in door frame of the bathroom looking after his father before muttering,
"I think she'd like to share her pain with you."
