You and Aidan had been together for two years and had a son, Richard. He was five years old. He was fussy, but when he liked something, he'd laugh and scream, and when you told him to shut up, he'd ignore it and keep going. You also had a daughter, Dina, at home; she was two months old and also fussy sometimes, but not as often (she was sleeping in her playpen at the time).
One day, while you were talking on the phone with Aidan and keeping an eye on Richard, he was screaming and laughing while "chasing" other kids on the playground. You couldn't resist and grabbed your son's hand without interrupting your conversation with Aidan. He began to struggle in your gentle but insistent grip. Small tears began to stream down his eyes. Richard was clearly displeased and almost had a fit. Aidan heard everything through the phone and became furious with his son...
