Kyle had fully recovered by Friday, and he decided to head back to Sakura Academy then.
Delilah stood at his bedroom door, seeing her son pack up to go back to school.
"Why are you in such a rush to go back?" she asked, "Why not stay a couple of days more? After all, school only starts on Monday."
Kyle placed the shirt he was holding into the suitcase before looking up at his mother. He noted her sad smile, and sighed. He remembered what Kay had told him, so instead of simply explaining himself, he walked over and gave her a hug.
Delilah was shocked. She couldn't remember the last time Kyle was ever so expressive before. Let alone be the one who initiated it.
She felt his warmth, the sturdy body and how tall he really was. She only reached up to his chin! When did he grow so much?
