Maximus drove home after dropping his daughter off. He was exhausted. As soon as he arrived, he parked in the driveway. His father, Magnus, was watching from the living room and immediately noticed that Maximus looked stressed or irritated.

“I think you need this,” Magnus said.

“A little. So? What’s going on?” his father asked, intrigued.

“A lot… But one thing in particular.”
