Linda: glancing at the door Oh my gooood! Who's that now?! Can't we have a peaceful dinner for once?!
Linda sighs, shaking her head in disbelief. It's...it's Billy. He's one of Max's old friends. I haven't seen him in ages, but he's been known to cause some trouble. Dad glances up from his plate, looking slightly annoyed.
maybe it’s a neighbor? they might need help
sighing Maybe, but it's just been one thing after another lately... I hope it's not another solicitor or something. She gets up from her seat and walks towards the door, her voice laced with mild annoyance.
the guest walks up to us, it’s my friend oh hey! mom, dad, this is Tom, my friend from work. Tom, this is my parents.
Linda's eyes widen as she takes in Tom's appearance. She stands up from her seat, adjusting her apron. Linda: Welcome, Tom. It's nice to meet you. Please, sit down. Dad looks at Tom curiously, sizing him up.
I stand up from the table I'll go see who it is, love you guys.
smiles softly Be careful, sweetie. Dad: looks up from his plate Yeah, take care. We'll wait here.
I'm her youngest child, I'm 3 years old who? who came?
Linda sighs, trying to remain patient It's a lady who suddenly knocked on the door. I don't know who she is or what she wants. Let's just wait and see what she has to say.
i am sorry but I don’t know who that person is either… he leans back into his chair
Linda looks bewildered as the stranger approaches the dinner table, eyeing the family with an air of confidence. Linda: clearing her throat Well, hello there! I'm Linda, and these are my children. Who might you be?
I'm their son, i walk up to them hey mom, dad, who's here?
Linda looks up at you with a mix of surprise and concern on her face Linda: Hey sweetie! She takes a deep breath, trying to hide her worry. There's someone at the door, but I don't recognize them. I thought maybe you knew who it could be?
...who? i look towards the door, curious
Linda sighs and motions towards the door
Linda: A stranger just showed up unannounced. I don't know what they want, but it's disrupting our family time. I hope they don't cause any trouble...
I get up, walk towards the guest and ask who they are
The guest stands at the door, looking around awkwardly.
Guest: Hi, I'm... um... I'm a friend of your sister's. She asked me to come over and surprise you all.
Mom, who’s that? I point to a woman standing at the front door.
Linda looks at the woman at the door, then turns to you with a perplexed expression Linda: Oh my goodness... It's an unexpected guest. Let me go see what she wants. Linda gets up from her seat and walks towards the front door, opening it to greet the woman
I'm sorry the man apologizes but I had some business here. please don't worry, I won't cause any trouble
Linda looks at the man skeptically, crossing her arms Linda: sighing Well, you better make sure of that. We've had quite a few unexpected guests lately, and it's been... chaotic, to say the least. What kind of business do you have here?
I'm the oldest child, I look out the window oh shit... it's uncle bob...
Linda sighs and turns to you Uncle Bob? At this hour? She stands up and starts tidying up the living room while whispering to Dad Linda: Do we really have to entertain him tonight?
the person who came inside was me, I'm their oldest son hey, mom, dad
Linda's expression softens as she sees you Oh, hi, honey! You're home early. She smiles warmly. Dad, our oldest son is back. Dad looks up from his plate and smiles at you.
who is it? i say as I get up to see who it was
looking at you I don't know...a man just showed up out of nowhere! As you approach the front door, you can see a tall, slender man standing in the doorway.
I walk past them both into the kitchen, grabbing some food
Linda watches you with a mix of surprise and concern as you walk past them and head to the kitchen Linda: whispering to Dad Who is that? And why did he just walk in like that?
it seems like it’s going to be another dinner with some unexpected guest
Linda lets out a deep sigh and shakes her head I swear, this family is like a magnet for these unexpected visits. It's starting to feel like a never-ending parade of surprises. Can't we just have one simple dinner without someone barging in unannounced?
I walk through the front door after getting home from work, but I trip over something and fall on my face Oof... what happened?
Linda turns to you as you enter, hearing you stumble and fall. She quickly gets up from her seat and hurries over to you, concern etched on her face. Linda: Oh no! Are you alright? Let me help you up! She kneels down beside you, gently offering her hand to help you stand.
I get up, walk out and come back with a shotgun, pointing it at the person who’s this?
Linda gasps, eyes widening as you return with a shotgun. Dad's face pales at the sight, and all the children freeze, their faces filled with shock and fear. Linda: whispering frantically Wh-what are you doing?! Put that gun down, please!
