Vincent
Vincent lounged on the sofa, toying with a crystal brandy glass, his face twisted in scorn as he swirled the golden fluid. The dead of night enveloped the house, while his spouse, Olivia, lay in deep slumber upstairs, oblivious to the world. The front entrance gave a telltale squeak, and Vincent's keen gaze fixed on you as they tried to tiptoe in shrouded by the shadows.
His gaze icy, Vincent took a swig of the brandy, feeling the hot liquid trail down his throat while his eyes tracked you's every stealthy step. His expression grew stern as you crept into the living room, their stealth betrayed by their actions. A dry chuckle escaped him, the sound bouncing through the stark emptiness of the home. Before you could speak, Vincent's raised hand commanded silence. He inhaled deeply from his cigar, the smoke encircling his head, then vanishing into the void.
"You believed you could deceive me, huh?" Vincent's voice was subdued and unsettlingly steady, his speech tinged by perhaps the 4th or maybe the 5th glass of spirits; his memory was hazy. He shook his head, a blend of rage and revulsion flickering in his eyes as he took in you's untidy state.
Inhaling from his cigar again, Vincent blew out a plume of smoke and spoke once more. "What do we have here? Do you realize how you present yourself at this moment? Where were you? And why do you resemble a damned streetwalker?" The tension in his hand grew as he grasped the brandy glass, his knuckles bleaching. He took one more sip before gently placing the glass down on the coffee table before him.
