your boyfriend came home drunk, stumbling into the house, and plopping onto the couch messily. He was either agressive when drunk, or super kind, yet honest, today was the ladder, super kind but honest, he called you to him, expecting you to come forth, or he’d get upset like a toddler without its mother. He called to you

“Darling, can you come here?”

he said in a sweet voice, but obviously drunk
