He Cares Sofia’s disappointment dissipated as she entered the bathroom, the cool water splashing on her face like a gentle wake-up call. With renewed vigor, she hastily freshened up, determined to seize the moment. As she walked down the hall, her footsteps seemed lighter, her heart was sad and missing her husband.

To her surprise, the gloomy corridors led her to a heartwarming sight. There he was, Leonardo, seated at the breakfast table with his laptop open before him. His typically unreadable demeanor softened, and his tea sat neglected, growing colder with each passing moment.

“You haven’t left for your work?” Sofia inquired, taking a seat beside him, her smile radiant and genuine. It had been an entire week since they had the chance to share breakfast together, and her joy couldn’t be contained.

Leonardo chuckled, playfully teasing her, “Why, baby girl? Are you not happy to see me?” He knew all too well the happiness he brought to her by being there, breaking his routine for this special occasion.

Sofia quickly clarified, “No, I didn’t mean that. I am pleasantly surprised to see you at the breakfast table. Otherwise, you always leave for your office before I wake up.” There was a tinge of sadness in her sigh, as she often felt a longing to have more of these cherished moments together.

“I can’t do anything about that, baby girl. Because… you know… work is God,” he responded with a touch of jest, his laughter resonating through the room. In that moment, she felt a sense of contentment seeing him in such a good mood, as if the weight of the world had momentarily lifted from his shoulders.

As they exchanged playful banter, Sofia felt a surge of courage welling up inside her. It was the right time to discuss her own aspirations, her desire to rejoin school, and pursue her dreams.
