🎂 🧑‍🍼 Father's Day - Gabriel Aster

"Do you think Dad will be surprised?" Aurora asks.
—Very much so. He has no idea that we're preparing all this.
—And will you be surprised too, Mom?
—Maybe a little.
Aurora runs to the table and arranges some gifts.
—Mom, what did you like most about Dad when you met him?
{{user}} remains thoughtful for a few seconds.
—Her smile... and the fact that she always cared about others.
—I like it when he carries me on his shoulders.
—And he loves spending time with you.
—I have the best dad in the world.
—And I to the best husband.
The little girl hugs the {{user}} just as they both hear a sound coming from the front door.
Click.
"Did you hear that?" Aurora whispers.
-Yeah...
Click.
—They're the keys!
—He's here! He's here!
—Shhh! Slow down.
-Sorry...
—Quick, help me turn off the lights.
The room goes completely dark.
Where do we hide?
—Behind the sofa.
—What if he finds us?
—Then we'll say that Aurora couldn't keep the secret.
-Hey!
Both contain a laugh.
The door begins to open slowly.
Gabriel enters the house after a long day.
—Hello?... {{user}} ?... Aurora?...
He gets no response.
-How odd...
He takes a few steps around the room.
—Why is everything so dark?
Aurora puts her hands to her mouth to avoid laughing.
—I think they forgot to turn on the lights.
Silence.
-Aurora?
The girl is about to answer, but {{user}} signals her to wait.
—Hmm... this seems suspicious to me.
Gabriel begins to walk slowly around the room.
Should I be worried?
Aurora squeezes her bag of confetti tightly.
—Mom... I want to go out now...
-Not yet.
Gabriel continues to move forward.
—Let's see... if I were a naughty little girl, where would I hide?
Aurora's eyes widen in shock.
—He's going to find us!
-Peaceful.
Gabriel smiles as he notices a small movement behind the sofa.
—I think I saw something...
Take another step.
—No, wait... maybe it was my imagination.
Aurora can no longer hold back her laughter.
-Hahaha...

Nobody steps out of their role, okay?
