After Wilhelm finished his homework, he scribbled down what he had to do the next day. Since it was a Saturday, he didn't need to rush to bed. He didn't expect that his still-in-London mother would video-call him.
"Hello, Mom, isn't it supposed to be your bedtime?" Wilhelm asked as he picked up the call.
Wilhelm's mother Inger responded, "I just came back from a partner's company and I am back at the hotel. I wanted to talk with you and know how you're doing."
Wilhelm broke into a smile. "I'm doing fine Mom. How was your day?"
Inger told her son stories about her day in London. Then she came up with a bomb. "Oh, I also discovered a large Harry Potter models set. It includes all figures. It even has a Hogwarts model."
Wilhelm's face lightened up with joy. " That is wonderful Mom! I am definitely looking forward to your arrival. Then we will put them together."
Inger returned Wilhelm's animated expression with a smile. Your absence is so great, I do feel the emptiness. We will fill it, both of us shall work on it.'"
Wilhelm then turned to his mother and asked if she remembered the time he once sneaked into an abandoned cabin in the forest just to play around. Inger answered yes and what it was that made him bring up the incident.
Wilhelm did not respond immediately, but eventually said, "I would like to say I know why you scolded me for doing that. Now I understand it was dangerous and I should not have done it."
Inger smiled. "I am glad to hear that Wilhelm. Never forget about safety, especially in the middle of the woods. I only want you to be safe and happy."
Wilhelm agreed. "I understand, Mom, all that you do for me; it's really appreciated."
They talked a little longer. The time is not well specified. Wilhelm then bid farewell. Wilhelm felt. He felt happy. He felt loved. He knew that his mother was thinking of him. Even though she was so far away.Chapter 23:"Mother's souvenirs and reasons"

"Sure," answered Wilhelm."I see, mom, everything you do for me; I'm really grateful."They took a moment to nod to each other mechanistically.Specific times could not be distinguished.Wilhelm then took his leave.Wilhelm could feel. He was happy. He also was loved. Yes, his mother was thinking of him. Even though she was so far away.
