Alex clung to Nora, his small arms wrapped tightly around her neck, inhaling the familiar scent that reminded
him of warmth and security. He had missed this-being held by her, feeling her gentle touch, and knowing she
was right there, just like before. The thought of letting go made his chest tighten, so he held on a little longer.
He looked to Arnold, who was standing by, and asked, “Daddy, | want to eat here with Mommy, can we pack up
and cback here to eat?”
Arnold, watching the scene unfold, didn’t interfere. He observed how naturally Alex sought comfort in Nora, and
with a calm nod, he made the arrangements.
“Pack the meals to go,” he instructed the staff.
The hospital room was soon filled with the aroma of freshly delivered dishes. The table was
carefully set, and Alex, unable to contain his excitement, pulled Nora to sit beside him. As they ate,
their conversation drifted to everyday things-his school, her work, the little things he had missed sharing with
her.
“Mom, when will you be done with work?” Alex asked between bites, his voice tinged with longing.
“You're always busy now...”
Nora’s hand paused slightly as she placed her chopsticks down. She looked at him with a gentle,
almost apologetic smile. “I'll only get busier in the future, sweetheart.”
The answer wasn’t what Alex had hoped for. His shoulders slumped, and his lips pressed into a pout.
He wanted to tell her that he missed the way things used to be-that he missed waking up to her
presence, being spoiled by her affection, and knowing she was just a call away. But he knew that if
he said it, she would only look more guilty, and he didn’t want to make her sad.

Then, suddenly, a thought struck him. His eyes widened as he sat up straight.
“Wait, Mom! Did you go shopping yesterday?”
Nora raised an eyebrow at the sudden change in topic but nodded. “Yes, I did.”
A flicker of surprise crossed Alex's face before his mouth fell open in realization. “Then... then I think | saw you! |
really thought | saw you yesterday!”
There was an odd discomfort creeping into his chest. If she had been out shopping, why hadn't she taken him?
Before, he used to complain about how boring it was to go shopping with her, dragging

his feet as he followed her from store to store. But now... now he missed it.
“Next time, can | ctoo?” His voice was soft, a little uncertain.
Nora looked at him for a moment, reading the silent plea in his eyes. He didn’t just want to go shopping-he
wanted to be included in her world again. Her lips curled into a faint smile, and she
reached out to smooth his hair.
“Alright,” she said. “Next time, I'll take you with me.”
Alex's face lit up instantly, the sadness from earlier forgotten.
Not long after, Arnold's order arrived. The dishes were placed carefully, most of them being Nora's favorite
foods. The way everything was arranged, from the selection of meals to the way the staff ensured her comfort,
made it clear that Arnold had been the one behind it all.
But Nora remained indifferent.
There was a twhen such gestures would have softened her heart. She might have even been touched,
believing that he had carefully remembered all her preferences. But now, she only saw it for what it likely was-an
effort to appease his grandmother, a simple act of gratitude for her visit. Nothing more.
And so, she ate, calm and composed, never once allowing herself to entertain the possibility that it meant
anything beyond that.
After dinner, Nora prepared to leave. Alex, however, had other plans.
“I want to go hwith you,” he announced, clinging to her arm.
Nora hesitated. “I'm not going back to the villa tonight. I'll be staying at my own place.”
“Then I'll stay with you!”
