Next morning..

Hurrying down the stairs, Stephan was well dressed for work. He held onto his briefcase with one hand and with the other he held his mobile phone against his right ear. It was quite early but he seemed to have an important appointment. He was soon down the stairs and kept his phone in his suit jacket as soon as the call ended.

"Lights"

He said loudly and automatically, the lights turned on. 

His eyes met with a stranger in his living room, well seated with his legs crossed on the couch that was directly opposite where he stood.

"Do I know you?"

He asked the stranger confidently. It was a man dressed in black keeping a straight face at him. His countenance was quiet and fear wasn't a scent around him. 

"No. You don't , yet somehow you do"
