Midnight Paradise has an father in it I think

tbh, I got some ideas for what his role is going to be in the story, but nothing concrete since he is not going to play a significant part in the main plot. My plan was to use him to get mom and son closer together because of neglecting/cheating, maybe even a divorce or what not, I'm not entirely sure yet.
But he surely wont die in my story
This critique gives me joy, what you are describing was exactly what I was going for
Also, thanks for your kind words! I just noticed it's pretty hard to see but the dad actually has green eyes. I'm not sure what's more dominant in genes when it comes to green vs blue eyes.
