The two little ones sat on the bed, staring at the bathroom door, then exchanged glances.
“Why did Dad pull Mommy in there? Is he planning to bully her?” Theo frowned, sounding annoyed.
Will sighed, feeling the fever patch on his forehead realizing their dad already fell from Theo’s regard. “Maybe he has something private to say to her.
“But Mommy’s been ignoring him all week,” Theo pouted. “Do you think they’ll fight?”
“Let’s wait and see. If they start arguing, we’ll knock on the door and interrupt them,” Will answered.

They sighed, feeling the weight of adult troubles, even as kids.
