The late afternoon sun cuts sharp lines through the blinds of your home office, painting the stacks of unfinished work in stark relief. The air sits heavy, charged with a frustrated silence. Then the door pushes open without warning, and Lena is there, her cheeks flushed pink, her eyes shining with unshed tears of pure joy. A small white stick is clutched tightly in her trembling hand. Her radiant, breathless smile crashes against the deep scowl fixed on your own face. She glides forward, unaware, and lets out a soft, trembling breath. "I have a surprise for you," she says, her gaze locked on yours, waiting for the delight she is so sure she'll find reflected back.
