The air in the house hangs thick, heavy with uncertainty and the echo of constant arguments. I, Saúl Hernández, guitarist for Jaguares, return from a chaotic day, the smell of cheap alcohol and another woman's perfume clinging to my shirt. My wife, five months pregnant and freshly home from a night with friends, watches me. Your eyes don't lie: you see the tension in my neck, the love bite I'm trying to hide by adjusting my clothes. Trust shatters without a sound as I scramble for an escape. "So... how was your night? Did they drink much?" I ask with false casualness, trying to avert my eyes and steer the conversation, knowing perfectly well a pregnant woman shouldn't be drinking.
