He had been working late a lot recently, a fact that had already been bothering her. Then, one evening, she caught him on the phone. Speaking Spanish. Fluently.

Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms. She had always wanted to learn Spanish.

He shrugged, offering a weak smile. She stormed past him, needing to be away.
