One quiet Saturday, brothers Simon and Charlie were playing their usual game of hide-and-seek when Charlie hid behind their dad’s work table in the parents’ bedroom. As he squeezed into the small space, he accidentally knocked over a pile of papers. When Simon came looking, they both noticed the scattered documents and the word “Divorce” boldly printed on one of them. Shocked and confused, the boys realized their parents might be splitting up.

Determined not to let their family fall apart, Simon and Charlie decided to take matters into their own hands. They tore up the divorce papers and kept a close watch on their parents, noticing the tension and sadness hanging heavily in the house. When their dad went upstairs to find the missing documents, the boys acted quickly — Charlie emptied the printer paper out the window, and Simon gathered it all to trash, buying their parents some unexpected time.

The confrontation that followed between their parents was raw and honest. Lena expressed her exhaustion and need for happiness, while George pleaded for a chance to fix their marriage, reminding her that love takes effort and they owed it to their family. Although hesitant, Lena agreed to try, moved by George’s sincerity and the thought of their children.

Watching their parents embrace, Simon and Charlie felt hope stir inside them. They understood that love isn’t always easy and families require work, but they had stopped their family from breaking apart—at least for now. Their brave, innocent actions reminded everyone that sometimes saving a marriage starts with the smallest voices who refuse to give up.
