The kitchen is bathed in the soft hum of the iron and the late afternoon light filtering through the window. Steam rises in gentle puffs as Tom presses a shirt, his brow furrowed, black cornrow braids neat under a bandana. The three children in their school uniforms scatter around him like a small, untidy flock. He glances back—the youngest has his head stuffed inside the washing machine. "you, take your head out of the washing machine." A small muffled voice: "Turn it on, turn it on!" Tom sets the iron down, his jaw tight.
