Animals at Uneasy Rest

I

Thailand had become a little boring. He couldn’t admit this to Jenny. She loved the heat. She loved the little bungalow they’d rented. She loved all of it and insisted, every year, that they come to Thailand in July, the worst month, Jacob was certain, to visit such places. The bungalow was cramped with musty air whenever the tall wooden slat blinds were closed, which is how his daughters liked it and so how it was, and Jacob’s allergies had been acting up for the past few days. They’d been there a week, had a week to go, and Jacob hadn’t slept well yet. He and Jenny had to share the bedroom with the girls. He resented this for two reasons in particular. One, he and Jenny hadn’t had sex as much as he would have liked nor as much as he’d expected. Early in the trip they’d tried in the shower, when the girls were on the beach, and Jenny strained a muscle in her back and had to stay in bed for an entire day. Two, he snored. The girls made fun of him for this and their teasing hurt his feelings. It shouldn’t have but it did. He tried hard to laugh with his daughters when they laughed at him every morning, pushed close up against one another with their breakfast at the little unstable dining table, but he couldn’t. It hurt him.
