hiro ran into the house "MOM!"

I look up from my coffee. “What’s wrong honey? Is everything alright…?” I look worried as I set down my spiked mug.

"he probably just misses you."

" he. he " hiro pointed to the woods

I look out the window to see Josh’s retreating figure before sighing and picking up my fresh coffee I made this morning and sip. “I think he’ll be back. We talked last night, and he seemed better. At least I hope he was.” I lean back against the counter and rub my exhausted eyes.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair. After a while, I draw my hand away and ball it into a fist at my side.

• takes on form of dog* " i hope so."

“But I never know…. I never can tell what he’s thinking. Or what I should tell him or withhold.” My knuckles whiten as I grip my mug tighter. “I always seem to screw up, but then just a few hours later, he and I will interact like nothing ever happened….”

• rubbs head agenst her hand " its okay momma"

I smile and rubs behind Hiro’s ears Mm, that’s what everyone always says….

she waggs her tail at this " but i mean it."

“But this has happened so many times before… I don’t think this is right…. if I could just….” I sigh before smiling and shaking my head. “Never mind. What do you want for lunch? I’ll make something.”

"too late. i made QUESADILLASSSSSS"

" something we havent had before. "

"anyone want quesadillas..?"

I rub my face, then freeze as whispers fill the silence.
