David had gotten busier after Lucas left. He went to work early in the morning so he wouldn't come back home too late. He was thankful that Lucas had shoved Michael to him because Michael had also had a rapid increase in his workload. Fortunately, he was a quick learner and a perfectionist, so David was also gradually delegating more important work to him.
After going through another busy day, he drove back home tiredly. He was only thinking about how he was going to shower and go to bed once he arrived. He parked his car in the garage and took out the keys to open the door connecting the garage to the kitchen.
He had ignored it before because of his fatigue, but the lights in the house were on when he entered. There was a subtle change in his gaze as he looked around the house but saw no one. He only noticed that there was food left on the dining table.
