George dropped his things in the car and watched Alec drive off waving, he walked back to the house into Rose's arms. She closed her eyes relieved but sad that she was ridding him of that privilege to spend more time with his real dad. George already promised that he would visit at the weekends.
She wished if there were any better time to show warmth, it would have been now because he just endured a bitter time of his life.
George believed if life had any suggestions, he would have given an address or an email, he would just have to suck it up and get on with it. He hugged her tighter knowing she was recouping too from the trauma and had another child on her tail.
Rose blinked back tears cupping his head. "I'll get a good job and take care of you once this clears"
"I know" He said, he didn't want her to be hard on herself, for now, if a hug was all he could give then he might just have to give it till he could do better.
