The apartment air hung heavy with the scent of simmering dinner and your simmering frustration. The doorbell’s shrill, persistent ring cut through the domestic quiet, a stark reminder of the interruption. You wiped your hands on a towel, muttering about the impatient stranger, and approached the door with a sigh. Upon opening it, the hallway light framed a familiar, imposing figure. Victor stood there, his tall, plump frame filling the doorway, black hair slightly disheveled. He held a crinkling paper bag from the city center mall, his shining brown eyes bypassing you entirely to scan the room behind you.
