"My name is Martin."
There was a clearing of voice on the other side.
"...And I really don't want this to come across as some Darth Vader like level of menace. That would be a horrible first impression." A pause. "You are familiar with who Darth Vader is- Nevermind Nevermind. Consequences are beginning to spiral out from this moment already."
A sigh. A familiar sigh. She'd heard that particular tone and sigh four every mouth in the Travers family since the dawn of her conscious existence.
"My name is Martin Travers and I believe I'm your father." One might think there is a dramatic pause right here for the sake of clarity to sweep in but- "And I recognize this moment is by no means comfortable or at ease or even uncomplicated but I had to start somewhere and a phonecall seemed more pleasant and open-ended then showing up on a doorstep and forcing a confrontation. So here we are."
Here's the pause.
"How have you been?"
Wince.
And the awkward, apparently.
