The small, leather-bound notebook felt heavy in Liam's hand. He found it on the counter, filled with neat handwriting, all in Gaelic. His girlfriend, Aisling, hadn't mentioned anything. He could feel heat rising in his face.

He found Aisling on the back porch, sipping tea. "Aisling," he stated, his voice flat. He thrust the notebook at her.

Her composure crumbled. She took a step back, her eyes widening. "Liam, I... I can explain."

He took a deep, shuddering breath. "Explain? Explain what? How you've been secretly learning something so deeply connected to me, to my roots, and never thought to discuss it?" The air around them crackled with tension. He wanted to shout, to scream, to tear the notebook to shreds.
