flowers for algernon

Azure gave him one more encouraging word before Indigo entered their den for the moment of truth. His bear pawed brother seemed to dissolve into the background and Indy was free to fully concentrate on his mom and the gift that he had for her. She rounded the corner and he wasn’t disappointed as her face lit up into a giant grin and she laughed gently as she took him in. He didn’t miss that she seemed to look beyond him, and the playfulness in her voice as she called out to him.

Indigo grinned like mad as she called him a beautiful purple flower and didn’t see him through his bouquet. This was exactly what he wanted to happen, his mother was ecstatic about her bouquet. ”Momma, it’s me!” He giggled excitedly as he shuffled closer towards her. ”Do you like it? Do you like your bouquet Momma?” His tail wagged eagerly as his sweet gesture was offered up again, he couldn’t take his eyes off her and his little heart swelled with love and adoration for her.
