Arthur (The husband)

A man opened the door, he was tall and lanky, with unkempt black hair. "Oh, hello there miss, I don't think we've met." He had a charming voice, but a bit of a stammer that somewhat ruined the effect. "My name's Arthur, and you are?" he held out his hand.

She hesitated before taking it. "Jessie." He grasped her hand with both of his and shook it.

"Wonderful! Please, come inside."

He led her into his house, and she remembered why she was there. "Um, this is a little rude of me to ask-"

"Nonsense! Go right ahead!"

"Well, my husband and I just moved in, but our things haven't arrived yet. Brian suggested that Nick, my husband, stay the night with him, and I ask you to borrow your guest room."

"Oh, of course! Brian is right, you can absolutely stay the night!"

"Really? Thank you so much."

"Don't mention it, that's just how we do things around here, Mrs. Jessie. Our house is better for this than Brian's anyway, you can borrow one of my daughters' pajamas."

"Your daughters?"

"Yes, I have two daughters, and a son." He frowned slightly, "They're all over 18 now, though, so we've been thinking about having another." He looked young to have three adult children, but he probably had them when he was relatively young, and was handsome on top of that.

"But they still live with you?"

"Why bother buy a new house if they're staying in Fidelity?" he asked, "Although admittedly, we don't see our eldest around much, she spends so much time with her friends, and our son has been thinking about getting an apartment I think, he keeps talking about wanting his own space. And my youngest daughter, she spends at least half her time at her girlfriend's house. She might end up moving in." He sighed, "It's nice to see them moving on, but I miss them running around, calling us mommy and daddy, sometimes, you know? Although I suppose you're a little young to have kids yet," he let out a deep chuckle, "Your parents might understand though."

She laughed with him. "So, are they going to be here tonight?" she asked.

"Let me text them. Oh, right, come on in." he pulled out his phone and held the door open for her. "Just my oldest, she'll be back in an hour or two." he says after a few moments. "The guest room is over here," he led her into a fairly normal room. "You can settle in, just call if you need anything." He walked off to make dinner, leaving her alone.
