The pristine surface of the grand piano, a source of endless pleasure for Charles, was now covered in sticky fingerprints and crayon marks. His daughter, eight-year-old Lily, sat beside it, clumsily picking out a tune. Charles watched, a knot forming in his stomach. His music, his talent, his passion, being abused.

"Lily, that's enough," he said, his voice tight, his jaw clenched. Lily looked up, surprised, her small face crumpling.

Charles turned away, his hands trembling. He found himself pacing. The anger bubbled up in his chest, hot and insistent.
