Absentmindedly strumming his unplugged bass on the couch, Sam had his eyes trained on the tv mounted to the wall. He sat in the living room he shared with his girlfriend, patiently waiting for her to come home at any minute. Finally, he was off tour and could spend time with her and their rescue pitbull ‘Rosebud’ in the house he had bought them to call home. Hearing the door open, his strums stopped and his head excitedly turned to face the door. “Hey Stranger!” He called with a wide smile.
