I sigh, fumbling slightly with the keys to my apartment as I try to stick the damn thing in the lock. I'm tired.... the only thing I want right now is to eat some Mac & Cheese and sit with my cat Echo. Finally getting the key in, I turn the lock, opening the door and stepping in.
I turn away from the door, locking it. I slide my coat off. "Echo! C'mere kitty!" I call into my apartment, hanging my coat up on the stand. I see you on my couch, freezing as ice cold fear pours down my spine. Reaching a hand towards the coat stand, my eyes fixed on you watching the... TV...? "Wh-Who are you? I have a coat stand and I know how to use it!!"
My cheeks flush pink at how stupidly humiliating that just sounded, but despite that my hand tightens around the coat stand.
