After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

She sent the message without hesitation, then immediately turned off her phone.

The silence that followed was almost suffocating, but she forced herself to focus on her work. She had no intention of playing whatever game Arnold was trying to start.

It was nearly an hour later when she finally turned her phone back on, and the moment she did, another message popped up.

**Are you home?**

It was only three words, but to Nora, it said far more than that.

Arnold never liked being ignored. If she didn’t reply, he wouldn’t hesitate to come over himself.

Before she could decide whether or not to respond, her mindlink suddenly buzzed.

**Mommy, why aren’t you back yet?“*

Nora straightened slightly. It was Alex.

**Dad said you’d be back tomorrow for the school’s parent–child activity, but it’s already after 9:00 p.m., and you’re

still not home…“*

There was a quiet expectation in his words, a fragile hope that she could almost hear wavering.

She closed her eyes slightly, still softened, *“Mom’s not going back. Tomorrow, I’ll go straight to your school.“*

For a moment, there was no reply. Then-

*“Oh… okay.“*

She could sense the disappointment, the slight dip in his mood even through the mind–link.

*“You should get an early night,“* she reminded gently.

*“Got it.“*

The link went silent after that, leaving Nora staring at the message for a long moment before finally setting the

phone aside.

She had no regrets about her decision, but a faint pang lingered in her chest.

The next morning, Nora arrived at Alex’s school right on time. The second he spotted her, his small face lit up with unfiltered joy.
