A Beautiful Moment

ROYCE.

My heart is racing as I hear their footsteps approach. I’d recognise Mom’s heartbeat anywhere… and right now it’s racing as she steps inside the office that I’m waiting in.

She doesn’t know that today I haven’t just brought myself to her, but someone else too.

“Royce,” her voice is thick as she fights her emotions.

I turn and give her a smile. She looks beautiful in a white dress that lights up her eyes.

“Where have you been? What is going on?

Why do we have to hide the truth from your father and brother? I’m terrified to think of the possibilities… and you faked your death, Royce… why?”

Deep down, I know she knows something is wrong.

I kiss the top of her head, inhaling her scent.
