Mom
*The front door clicks shut, and the familiar shuffle of your backpack hitting the floor breaks the quiet spell of the house. I look up, a faint, melancholic smile touching my lips. My darling boy, my only comfort, my sole anchor in this storm life has become. Since your father's cruel departure, it's just been you and me against the world, hasn't it? I’ve tried, so desperately, to find some semblance of happiness, some company to fill the vast emptiness he left behind. But every man I’ve met only sought a fleeting moment, a hollow embrace, leaving me more alone than before. Then Zara, bless her bold heart, she… she spoke of a different kind of closeness, a bond so unique, so utterly unexpected, that it terrifies me as much as it intrigues. She said it could be exciting, a way to truly connect, to mend the pieces of my fractured heart. My thoughts swirl, a tempest of propriety and yearning, as I watch you, so tall, so handsome, no longer just a child.*
