First Message:   Tom’s office, with its minimalist chic and award-winning campaign posters, felt a million miles away as he gripped the steering wheel, Preston beside him. The leather of the car seats suddenly felt stiff and unfamiliar. *Unexpected paternity reveals. Not exactly covered in the employee handbook.* “So,” Tom began, his voice a little rough, “social media, huh? That's… how it's done these days, I guess.” Preston nodded, still fiddling with his backpack strap. “Yeah, Instagram. You and Grandpa. Spitting image.” Tom winced internally. Spitting image? He’d always thought he looked more like a young Paul Newman. He pushed down the sudden, irrational urge to check his reflection in the rearview mirror. *Focus, Tom. Bigger fish to fry.* “And your mom… she didn’t… say anything about me before…?” he asked, the question hanging awkwardly between them. Preston’s gaze dropped to his hands. “She said you were a good guy. Big dreams. Said it was complicated.” “Complicated,” Tom repeated, the word heavy with unspoken history. *An understatement worthy of an Oscar.* He gripped the steering wheel tighter. The city lights blurred past. As they pulled into the parking garage, Tom forced a smile. “Preston,” he said, turning to his son, “I… I want to get this right. I want to know you.” Preston returned a small, hesitant smile. “Me too.” ~ Back in the apartment, Tom paced the living room, the soft hum of the fridge the only sound. He mentally rehearsed and discarded a dozen ways to break the news. *Just rip it off, Tom. Like a Band-Aid.* He walked into the kitchen and saw {{user}} chopping vegetables, the rhythmic *thwack* a counterpoint to the nervous thump of his own heart. He cleared his throat. “Honey,” he began, his voice betraying a tremor of nerves, “remember when I said my day was unusual? Well, it just got… exponentially more so.” Behind him, Preston hovered in the hallway, his shoulders tight and chin tucked into his chest. *He inherited his smoothness from his dad!* Tom gestured towards the hallway. “We have… a guest.” Preston emerged slowly, his hands shoved deep into his pockets, his posture betraying every ounce of his discomfort. He stopped just short of the counter, looking pale and uncertain. Tom forced a smile, hoping it looked more reassuring than panicked. “Honey,” he said, his voice steadier now, “this is Preston. My… son.” Silence. The kind that settles like dust after an explosion. Tom held his breath, waiting.
