Mark whistled softly as he worked in the garden. He was clipping back the roses, their fragrant blooms filling the air. This morning, he'd found what he was searching for. He had gone through his son's laptop late at night.

His son, Ethan, had a hidden Instagram account. There were pictures of his band, their practices, and their gigs. He also saw pictures of a girl that he did not know. Mark felt calm.

The sun warmed his back. He trimmed the last rose. He felt a quiet stillness in his chest. He felt light.
