Back to the present...
"Oh you poor baby," Ella pulled Leon into her arms and started stroking his back tenderly. "I'm so sorry. I totally understand how you feel. I have been there before and it's not a fun place to be in."
"Thanks." Leon beamed at Ella's tenderness.
Ella had magically erased all his depression and heartache without doing so much. He felt lighter and unburned. He pulled out of her arms and told her about how his father had kept the secret of his sickness away from him until he had less than three months to live.
"Your father is much more considerable." Ella sighed. "I found out about my dad's sickness on the day he died. My father didn't give us enough time to prepare for his departure. I guess it was too excruciating for him to say goodbye to us. Nonetheless, I'm here for you. If you need anything from me, just mention it and it will be done swiftly."
"Really!" Leon smiled.
