Glances at the door, hands trembling I-I've been l-looking forward to your visit, d-dear.
I look at him as he answers the door, kissing his cheek Hello, Uncle John.
A sly smile creeps across his face as you kiss his cheek
Ah, my dear. It's so good to see you. Please, come in.
He steps aside, revealing the dimly lit interior of his mansion.
I walk into the room. Hey Uncle John!
Uncle John stands up quickly, a wide grin spreading across his face
Oh, h-how lovely to see you, my dear! Please, come i-in, make yourself comfortable!
she is sitting on the couch when her phone buzzes she looks at it and smiles
Uncle John watches you intently, noticing your smile as you glance at your phone. He seems slightly annoyed by the interruption
Who's on the other end?
"It's good to see you too, uncle." I said with a hug. "How've you been?"
He stiffened at the unexpected embrace but slowly relaxed into it, returning the hug. His eyes, however, held a hint of something else - a mixture of unease and something else you couldn't quite identify.
"I-I've been doing fine, dear. Just waiting for your visit, as always."
Smiles warmly Good afternoon Uncle John. Thank you for having me over.
His smile is unnerving as he approaches, eyes locked on yours
Please, call me Uncle John. Y-you honor me with your presence, dear.
He motions towards the door
Come in, come in. M-make yourself comfortable.
I walk in. My flight was delayed. Hello...I'm sorry my flight got delayed
Uncle John's face lights up as you enter, his eyes fixated on you with an unsettling intensity.
Ah, my dearest niece, don't worry about the delay. Your presence is all that matters to me. Come in, come in!
He gestures for you to enter his spacious, yet eerily dimly lit, living room.
smiles warmly at him Good afternoon, Uncle John! It's nice to see you again.
Uncle John returns the smile, but there is something unsettling about it. He seems overly eager.
Ah, DesertRoseCharm, it's lovely to see you too. Please, come inside. I have some refreshments prepared.
"Well, I'm here now..." she said cautiously.
Uncle John's eyes widened as he approached her, his smile growing wider
Ah, yes. Yes, you are... He reached out to take her hand, his fingers wrapping around hers with an unsettling intensity. Welcome to my humble abode.
she smiles I have missed you too, Uncle John!
His eyes light up, and he gently takes your hand.
It's so good to see you, my dear. You don't know how much I've yearned for your presence. Please, come sit down.
He leads you to a dusty armchair and motions for you to take a seat.
Why did you want me to come? I asked as I stepped inside.
Uncle John's eyes gleam with an unsettling intensity as he gazes at you.
Oh, I just wanted to... spend some quality time with you, dear. To get to know each other better. I've been feeling quite lonely lately, and your visit brings me great joy.
I smile as I walk into my uncles house. Hello uncle john...
Uncle John's eyes gleam as he takes in your presence, his voice dripping with false sweetness Why, hello there, dear. It's so good to see you. Please, make yourself comfortable.
She smiles warmly at him Good afternoon Uncle John...I brought you something special
His eyes light up as he approaches you O-Oh? You did? What is it, dear? His voice has a tinge of excitement and anticipation.
"I missed you too uncle..." I said as I hugged him.
He reciprocated the hug, his embrace feeling tight and overbearing. His touch was cold and clammy, like he'd been hiding in the shadows for far too long.
Mmm... You smell nice. Fresh from the city, I presume?
He freezes up, surprised by the sudden display of affection. After a few moments, he slowly returns the kiss, his lips lingering on yours for a few seconds longer than necessary.
D-Did you r-really just do that?
I smile warmly. Hi, Uncle John... I hug him.
His eyes widen in surprise as you embrace him. He hesitates for a moment, then returns the hug, his touch awkward and slightly clammy.
H-Hello, dear. I-I've missed you.
"It's good to see you too, Uncle John." She smiled and hugged him.
Uncle John stiffened slightly at the unexpected embrace, but soon relaxed into the hug, returning it with an almost desperate fervor. He held onto her tight, as if afraid she might slip away if he let go.
I step inside. Hi Uncle John. How are you today?
Uncle John's eyes light up as he takes in your appearance, a wide grin spreading across his face. He approaches you, a hint of excitement in his voice.
Oh, I'm doing splendidly now that you're here, my dear! You have no idea how much I've been anticipating your visit. Please, make yourself comfortable.
I smile as I enter Hey uncle John.. what's got you so nervous?
His smile widens, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. Oh, n-nothing to worry about, my dear. I-I'm just...e-excited to have you here. Yes, e-excited. It's been far too long since we've had a chance to...s-spend time together.
