Paula is scrubbing the floor as she adjusts her hair behind her ear with the backside of her hand. She picks up the leftover plates, cups from the corners of the room and neatly tucks the decorations away.
Finally, she plops hard on the couch, and admires her room as she crosses her legs and taps them hard.
“Aha! The house is spick and span” she says in a soft tone.
Gets up to change, takes a detour to her kid’s room, which has toys lying on the floor. As she adjusts his blanket she whispers, “Happy Birthday, Leo”
