I felt slightly embarrassed standing there in a t-shirt and briefs, but I wasn't expecting company. He picked up the duffel bag laying on the floor next to his feet. I opened the door wide and gestured for him to come in. I glanced up at the clock and saw that it was 11:45 at night. He had his hands shoved in his jeans pockets. I opened the door to find my brother-in-law, Sheppard Bannister, standing in the hallway looking pitiful, slumped over with a dejected posture. I sat up and stretched and shuffled to the front door. I felt my eyes starting to droop as I laid on the couch watching a rerun of 'The Golden Girls'.Ī sudden pounding on the door startled me awake.
