You're just returning?

A man sits in a black leather recliner in a sparingly but well decorated living room. He is reclined partially but not relaxing, he twiddles his fingers, glances at a book and at the clock. After a time a noise is heard out side the door, he sits up right and waits, but nothing happens. He leans back again. After some time of agitation he begins to dose off. Another noise outside the door is heard and he darts up. A scratch of a key in the lock is heard and he attempts to relax himself and look uninterested. The door opens and a woman dressed in heels a dress and make-up comes in. He looks hopefully at her and she gives him a half-hearted smile before digging through her purse as she walks into another room. The man's face drops and he falls back into his chair and rubs his face with his hands.
