back home

The sound of the door shutting can be heard from inside of the house. He walks to the open door from his car with a bag in his hold while the other hand keeps a key. Pushing a button on the key, a simultaneous sound of locks come from the car.

Walking through the door, he places the car key in a bowl that sits on a table next to the door. The tip of his shoe hold down the other one from the back as he release his foot starting with the heel. The same fate is brought upon the other shoe before he puts them neatly in the shoes cabinet. Finally pulling out the house slippers, he puts them on before going in any further into the house.

He steps up the stairs, looking up on the way in front of him. On the second floor of the house, he walks on the familiar path that does not take him even half a minute to reach. He stretches his hands forward, knocking on the door that is already 3 inches wide open.
