Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Olya’s parents were speaking quietly at the round dining room table.
The door was closed.
There was a crack between the jamb and the wooden door where she could see through.
-
They spoke quietly and she couldn’t make out the words, but it sounded as though her father was trying to convince her mother of something. Olya’s younger brother, Oleh, kept pushing, trying to get close enough to see, but she held him at arm’s length.
-
“Stop it, I can’t hear,” she hissed.
“But I wanna see! I can’t see!” Oleh said, his voice rising dangerously. “I wanna see!”
“Shhhh! You’ll ruin everything!!”
-
Oleh burst into loud tears and inhaled, beginning a loud and piercing wail of despair just as the kitchen door swung open.
“Kids? Come inside, your mother and I have something to tell you,” Olya’s father said.
