'Home, sweet home…' Sam could not help but think as midnight approached.
Visiting home with his girlfriend after the end of such a grueling football season was just like he expected it to be, it was relaxing.
Away from the football pitch, away from rivals, from the boisterous energy of home fans and the hostile energy of away fans, away from all of this and at home with his family at last, Sam felt at peace.
As soon as the random cashier that his mom invited over for dinner left, Sam had a nice time with his family.
Together, the whole family watched an old movie, a classic in Madagascar, the old 2005 cartoon movie as they had a great time together.
After the movie, while the rest of the family, his mom, his girlfriend, and his sister stayed in the big sitting room, engaging in a gist among themselves, Sam left with his dad to the balcony where they had a man to man talk.
