“Where’d you get that from?” Santos asks.
“The food? It’s from Doctor Robby,” Dennis says without thinking. “Oh, wait. I meant- the food’s from Chau’s. We- I got it on the walk home.”
Her eyes narrow.

“How about a bet?” Snake proposes.
Sunny’s eyes are wide when she asks: “What- what's a bet?”
“A bet is like a game where you guess what's going to happen in the future. So, if I can manage an entire week without smoking, I win. If I fail, you win. Winner gets any prize of their choosing.”
Sunny lights up. “Deal!”

"You seem to be taking this quite well,” Snake half-laughs.
Hal shrugs. “Yeah, well. I mean. Everything I've learned about you has always been a little… out there. The werewolf thing is… let’s call it icing on the cake. I'm sure it must come with some benefits, right?"
Snake rolls his eyes, but doesn't confirm or deny.

Summary
Hal Emmerich is a mobility aid engineer struggling with a balancing act of committing to his job and his adopted daughter, Sunny Emmerich. In between leading important projects and raising a young girl, little time remains for Hal to put himself out there and find a partner. He's abandoned the idea entirely; tall walls have been built around his heart, the key only gifted to his daughter. But... that man he can't stop seeing around town keeps managing to get involved in his life, whether Hal wants it or not. And those walls are tall, but quite thin.
