Love Unspoken

When Amanda rolled up to the hospital, Alexander was MIA from his ward.

She wandered around and finally spotted him in the park downstairs, chilling on a bench with a little kid next to him.

Dude was deep into a video game, and the kid, maybe four or five, was practically glued to him, eyes wide with excitement. "You're awesome!" the kid shouted, clapping as Alexander smashed through a level.

Alexander kicked off the next level, and the kid leaned in even closer, almost climbing on top of him.

Anyone passing by would think they were father and son, no doubt.

Amanda just stood there, not wanting to mess up the sweet moment.

Soon enough, the kid's mom showed up and said, "You ran off again. Come back here."

The kid pouted, giving his mom the puppy eyes. "Can I play a little longer?"

Mom checked out Alexander, decided he wasn't a creep, and sat down. "Alright, five more minutes," she said.

The kid's face lit up. "Thanks, Mom!"
