A Family Matter

It was a long luxurious dinner at Emily's parents' house. Relatives of both Emily and Victor were invited. It seemed to Victor like everybody lost any sense of reason in that house. Every single conversation revolved around him and Emily having children. The sooner the better. Like wind up toys on repeat. Thankfully, Emily wasn't having it either. She decided though to stay there overnight.
He excused himself early because of work. But instead of going home, he wandered around the dark London alleys until he reached his destination. The house where he never had to think or reason either.
