I have father's eyes, Alfie could at least smile as Heather embraced him. Feeling her warmth brought him happiness. But her words made that happiness waver. Alfred frowned, watching how she acted as she spoke. “I know it’s not the most comforting but... I don’t feel like mom is coming back.” The anxious boy looked away, giving a soft sigh. “I was looking for her Heather. There was no sign at all. I don’t know why she left but...” Alfred felt his heart sink.
“Something pulled her away from us. All we can do now is try to move on. We still have dad... Each other. We’ve got Fiori. Even if mom decided she didn’t want to be here, or couldn’t, or something... We need to try and carry on. Especially if she does come back. Think of how much stronger we could be by then. What she might be able to learn from us instead.” Alfred looked back to Heather, offering a small, sad smile.
“I know I’m not mom but... I’m here for you Heather. I’m not going anywhere anymore, okay? I’m here to stay! It’s a promise.” He gently nudged her shoulder. “Will you make that promise to me too?”
Just Go ahead And try! |
