She hesitates before knocking at his door, her hand raised in midair.

Visitors can always hear Dave coming to open the door long before he reaches it, as his bulk passes over the old and slightly creaky wooden floorboards.

(Which is not to say he can't move quietly. He can. But he needs a reason to do so.)

Finally, the door swings open. "Come on in," he says, with an abrupt gesture.

"Thanks," Kim says, smiling as she moves past him through the door.

"It's good to see you."

"You, too," Dave says, following her.

If he were a natural gallant he'd add 'as always', but he's not. It's true, though.
