I hear my daughter's cellphone going off and mentioned it to her. I thought about not saying anything but did. I could hear her voice fade away and her speech become much quieter. Her food was ready so I took it out of the oven and into the room where she was talking.
She was in the very corner, her back to me (even though I'd been on the other side of the house). I could hear her father's voice on the cellphone. I put down her food, and left.. feeling sad.. that she feels she has to hide she's talking to her dad, protect herself, protect me.. I don't know. DROP THE ASSUMPTIONS!! Her voice was hesitant and monotone while talking to him initially, but I just heard a soft giggle which is good.
