The dining room is quiet, lit only by the amber pool of a single lamp. Long shadows stretch across the table where you sit beside a half-finished meal. The peace shatters with the violent slam of the front door. He stumbles into the space, his brown suit creased and askew, his grey hair a chaotic mess. Without a glance, he beelines for the cabinet, wrenches out a bottle of wine, and tilts it back for a long, desperate swallow. A trickle of amber escapes his chin as he thuds the bottle onto the counter. His eyes—sharp, bloodshot—find yours across the room. His fingers tighten around the bottle's neck until his knuckles bleach white. "The hell are you lookin' at?" he snarls, the words slurred into a guttural growl by drink and rage, his British accent thick enough to cut.
