David’s Work Calls
David settled into the living room, engrossed in a phone conversation with his coworkers. I sighed quietly, hoping he’d catch the frustration written across my face, but he remained absorbed in his own world. His concerns overshadowed mine as his voice filled the room, drowned out only by my silent sighs. I kept busy with chores, silently wishing he’d realize that things at home weren’t as perfect as he seemed to think.

Storytime with Emma
I settled Emma on the couch with her favorite book just as Lisa called, her voice almost apologetic. “Mom, mind if I pick up Emma and Jake later?” she asked. “Of course, darling,” I replied, my tone warm but carrying the weariness of repetition. Emma remained absorbed in her story, unaware, while I quietly mapped out the evening’s plan in my mind.
