Rufus' POV:

My father and I retired to his study. Neither of us exchanged a word for a while. He was standing with his back to me. But his angry face was reflected on a row of crystal glass decor pieces on the shelf. Five minutes of silence later, I couldn't help but break the ice first. "Father."
