"If I'd had a different kind of father, everything would have been different. I might have wished otherwise, but there's not much about the last twenty years I'd change."

Didn't he deserve a day to himself for a change? A day to do what he wanted? A few hours without being chided and bossed and ordered about by his brilliant but annoying flatmate? With no sniffling children or worried mothers? No police lights or crime scene tape? No chaos? Just … sunshine and a chance to relax for a change?
