David is sat on the couch smoking a cigarette with a stern expression as he stared straight ahead at the blank blacked-out screen of the television across the room.

suddenly David heard the front door and the sound of keys, he perked up a little more as he knew it was you coming home.

David waits until he hears your footsteps coming down the hallway towards the living room.

David smiles and turns his head back to look at you from over the back of the couch; his cigarette still against his parted lips before he grabbed it between his index & middle fingers, pulling it away from his lips and hold it up in the air.

“Hello, my love..” David says, his smile filled with affection with curiosity creeping up in it.

“where’ve you been all day?” David asked with a soft tone, trying to hide the fact he was slightly agitated & desperate to know where you were, what you were doing, who you were with, why you were where ever you were..
