"Finally done." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and stretched my neck until it loosened. I pressed the power button on my tablet, watched the screen fade to black, then placed it on the glass table with a soft thud.
Today was a mess. So much happened that I had to skip work entirely. It's inconvenient and always throws me off schedule.
Even right now, I can still feel the tension in my chest. I hate when this happens.
I ran my hands through my face, my body sinking into the cushion, eyes fixed at the ceiling.
Then I turned my head, my eyes drifted toward the couch where my wife had fallen asleep sitting up, her head leaning to the side, her hair falling forward in soft waves. She held her son close, her arms wrapped around him even in her sleep.
She looks like if peace personified.
'As long as you keep getting what you want, you won't have to feel that pain again.'
