Adam sat in his living room, enjoying a quiet evening in his spacious mansion. He had just settled down on the couch to watch a movie when he heard the doorbell ring. He frowned slightly, wondering who could be visiting him at this time of night. He got up from the couch and made his way to the door, his footsteps echoing in the cavernous hallway.
As he opened the door, he was surprised to see his old friend Mark standing there. Mark was a tall, handsome man with a charming smile and a reputation for being a ladies' man. Adam hadn't seen him in years, and he was both happy and apprehensive to see him.
"Mark, it's been a while. What brings you here?" Adam asked, trying to sound cordial.
Mark grinned broadly. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by. I heard you were living in this huge mansion now. I had to see it for myself."
