hard weekends
The weekends are always the hardest for Viktor. Without the structure of school, the boys’ boundless energy demands constant attention.
He struggles to think about Mark’s suggestion, trying to push it out of his mind. The house feels like a battleground of toys, noise, and small conflicts.
“Dad, can we go to the park?” Leo asks. Viktor nods, masking his tiredness. “Sure, buddy,” he replies.
They pile into the car, another day of relentless activity begins.
