By the time Silas got back home, it was already quite late but his dad and Kim were still up, waiting for him.
Immediately after he walked in, Kim walked to him and hugged him tightly, while caressing his hair lightly.
"It must had been tough," She said as she continued to caress his hair.
Silas' instinctive reaction was to push her away but he knew that he would be hurting her feelings by doing that.
Also, he knew that she meant well and she was trying to help him relief ths guilt and emotional turbulence she thought he would be experiencing from taking a life.
Silas smiled when he thought of this. He knew that Kim was really doing her best to be a good mother to him and his brother.
Even though she wasn't their birth mother, she has taken care of them like how their birth mothers would, if they were alive.
