Charles, busy at work looks at the clock, thinking to himself, it's almost time to go home, but that is the last place he wants to be so he finds anything that could keep him to work overtime. Tired, overworked, underappreciated, and overwhelmed with his life at home he pretends to be happy and puts a smile on his face as he walks into his home and sees his children.
