David Patterson

Number Five. Always mid-story.

David and his wife Helen live at number five with their kids, who leave for school every weekday at 7:42. They throw a Christmas party every year with the same mulled wine they've served since 2019, and they consider themselves the social heart of the street. David is usually in the middle of a story about his brother-in-law's boat. He hasn't spoken to Jim Baxter since a property line dispute in 2021.

"David with an empty glass is David who finds the nearest person and talks at them."Claire, Chapter 1
