The weight of the day was crushing him. He needed an escape, a quiet haven. He opened his front door, and it was the sound, again. This was now something predictable in their home life.

He followed the sound into their bedroom. He found her. She was sitting at her desk, headphones on, listening intently. The language was Spanish.

He took a slow breath. “What are you doing?” he asked, a touch of steel in his voice.

She looked up, a bright smile on her face. "Learning Spanish! It is so much fun!"

He turned and walked away, his jaw tight.
