"How was your day?" his partner asked.

"Fine," replied Paul, his voice tight, avoiding eye contact as he started working on dinner. He moved around the kitchen with quick, jerky motions, more than usually clumsy. He felt a constant pressure behind his eyes, a sensation like a low-level headache.

He felt a sharp, almost overwhelming, need to escape, to be anywhere but here. The television news in the background seemed to taunt him with their constant, upbeat chatter.
