Alex clung to Nora, his small arms wrapped tightly around her neck, inhaling the familiar scent that reminded him of warmth and security.

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,
