You catch him smoking

After a long and difficult day, Tom slips away from everyone and retreats to the quiet side of the house, hoping for a moment alone. You unexpectedly find him there, and the faint smell of smoke gives away what he’s been trying to hide. His usually composed and confident demeanor falters as he realizes you’ve caught him in a vulnerable moment. Beneath his awkward excuses is the sense that something has been weighing heavily on him—and that he isn’t quite ready to admit what it is.
