David turned his head and spat off the front porch. It had been a long day. It was good to be home. He turned the key‚ his brain releasing a little squirt of dopamine at the familiar sound of the coming relaxation‚ and waited on the next of the two sounds he heard every day at 5:30: Scruff banging against the door.
