It was fairly rare for the demon to wait this long to collect. Rare cases when he felt uncomfortably collecting on a child, sure, he waited. Parents he figured he could eventually milk for more later down the line? Definitely a long term investment. Some punk kid who wanted to ride high once he was out of college usually burned out before he really had a chance to play the waiting game, but Samuel had seemed to be doing a fairly decent job at keeping it consistant. So, he’d let him go along with it for a bit longer. Observed, and waited for a good moment, which came to be that particular night.
He knew his face hadn’t changed, and waiting for him in his living room just seemed appropriate. “You know, I was actually looking forward to you explaining to your date why you have a stranger in your apartment. What, kiss on the front porch not enough to get ‘em inside?”
