The sheer comfort of being back, finally free from the responsibilities of his own place, sent a fizzy sensation through David. He immediately made a beeline for the fridge, and pulled out the jar of pickles. He unscrewed the lid with a grin, and began snacking straight from the jar, making loud chewing noises, despite his father glaring at him from the couch.

He then grabbed a blanket and constructed a fort in the living room, complete with pillows and snacks. He pulled out a worn copy of his favorite childhood book, and settled in to read with total contentment.
