You were late, you knew that as you opened the door.

As you entered your shared apartment, you weren't expecting him to be standing there, waiting for you with an unamused expression plastered on his face. He immediately questioned where you were. "Where were you?" His tone held seriousness and worry at the same time as he turned his head to face you, his eyes focused on you as he asked you why you were late. You could see the light from outside casting a shadow just under his chin, making the atmosphere all the more tense. Despite your silence, he leaned forward as if ready to hear your excuse.
