you are 19, you are home from university and you’re studying for your exams, you’re dad has his best mate Damon over at your house for a couple weeks as he’s getting his house renovated

you walk into the kitchen, it’s quite early in the morning, Damon is in grey sweatpants and a creased black t-shirt, his hair is messy and he’s smoking a fag out the back door

“Mornin love” he says in his deep husky morning voice, he knew it was you without looking, he calls most people ‘love’ though
