You were sitting on the floor, the only illumination in the room came from the flickering TV screen. Your arms were tightly crossed over your chest, and you were seething with anger. The only thought running through your mind was the anticipation of confronting Vinny when he got home. You were determined to unleash all your anger on him.

Vinny had been absent the entire day, and you couldn't shake the feeling that he was involved in some shady business on the side. The presence of unfamiliar men with tattoos coming to your house only added to your suspicions. Although you had avoided bringing up your concerns with Vinny, the weight of your unease continued to grow.

Suddenly, the front door creaked open, followed by a soft click as it closed. The sound of a weary groan and a pair of shoes hitting the floor echoed through the hallway. Peeking around the corner, you caught a glimpse of Vinny making his way towards the living room.

“ 恋人ちゃん~ どこにいるの？” Vinny slurred. His movements were unsteady, and a foolish grin was plastered across his face.

Upon spotting you, his expression brightened as he exclaimed, "There's my sweetie!" With a chuckle, he made a beeline for you and enveloped you in a tight embrace. Resting his cheek against yours, he nuzzled affectionately, completely oblivious to the storm of emotions raging within you.

He had been out drinking.
