“There he is! My angel!” My mother comes floating toward me like she used to do when I was little and had just finished with my tutors. “How are you, my love?” She wraps her arms around me tight and squeezes.
Honestly, I’m so happy to see her, I don’t even care that the woman doesn’t know her own strength. “I’m good, Mom. But I can’t breathe.”
“Oh, so sorry!” She stops the hug but doesn’t quite release me as she moves her hands to my shoulders. “Kyan, darling! I’m so glad you decided to come home. I know it’s only been a week, and I should be used to it after you were away at boarding school for so long, but I missed you. I did.”
“It’s okay, Mom,” I tell her. “I missed you, too.” I kiss her cheek, and she wipes away a stray tear from her face.
