He sat on the park bench, watching children play, the scene a mockery of his inner turmoil. The sun was going down. The light shifted, casting long, distorted shadows. He had a gift for both of them, still unwrapped.

The wind rustled the leaves, a sound that seemed to mock his every thought. He was going to fail both of them.
