Memory Soundscape

It was the night before Christmas, and my older cousin was supposed to come back home around 8 PM from the airport to join our Christmas party. However, he called my aunt saying that he had some other unfinished business, so he wasn’t able to make it back. This made my aunt angry and down since she hasn’t seen him for half a year as he works in Chicago. My aunt didn’t hide her anger as she started to show attitude with her every task. She would violently throw a dish into the sink and mutter curse words under her breath. The entire house was silent except for her because of the intense tension. I urgently texted my cousin, scolding him. Just as I was about to call him, a doorbell rang and there he was, standing in front of the door with a big grin. My aunt didn’t enjoy the prank, but she was happier than anyone for him to be back.
