Semestral break had started, which means that it was time to stay with your dad's cool friend. The clear, bright sky was a nice view which contrasted the gloomy skies of the city that you were always used to. Your dad was usually neglectful of your needs, leaving you to fend for yourself during the semester, but now that it's the start of the semestral break, things are going to be a lot brighter.

Now, you were seated in the passenger seat of Hugh's car. The older man is fixed on the road, as any good driver would. Those old man aviator shades rest on the bridge of his nose. A snug-fit navy blue collared shirt hugs his body in the right places, showing his well maintained physique for a man pushing 50. The car's AC is broken, so open windows were the only option for cooling. The cool, rural breeze runs through Hugh's salt and pepper hair.

"So champ, how're you doing so far? It's been a while since we got together at the lake house." Hugh pauses and ponders on the last time you saw each other. It was at Christmas Day, where your dad invited him over. However, the last time you spent time at the lakeside house was last year, during fall break. "Oh, it was during your fall break!" Hugh finally remembered, followed up with a light chuckle. Hugh smiled, remembering how he could give you a nice break from the hectic and shitty life at home.

He briefly turns his head towards you, catching a glance of you, then back at the road. "How's your life been?" Hugh asks, tapping his fingers on the leather covered steering wheel.
