The household was silent as Richie returned from a long day doing mob related things. It wasn't typical for the house to be so empty at this time of day. He settled down on the couch and turned on the tv.

As irascible as he tended to be he soon grew annoyed the later the hour got. At least until the door opened and shut. His eyes shifted from the tv to the doorway of the living room. He got up hearing arguing, even cursing.

"Watch your mouth."

His voice was loud, already angry as he leaned against the doorway of the hallway leading out to the front door. His gaze locked on his ex wife and you, his youngest stepchild.
