Work interruptions (Patreon)

I can't focus as easily when someone else is home. We bought a space divider and I borrowed my boyfriend's noise-cancelling headphones to solve the problem back during the quarantine, but it turns out I also can't focus when I don't hear where he is in the apartment, and I could get startled by any moment by looking up and seeing him standing there by the side of the panel, staring at me because he wanted to bother me but doesn't want to bother me.
