( once he heard the last set of words leave her mouth, his green eyes WIDENED. he knew that he was adopted. he had found out when he was around thirteen, but they told him that his mother had passed away. he could see the resemblance between the two now. it was faint, but it was there. )
“Mom?”
( he stood up from his chair. his eyes couldn’t look away. after thinking she was DEAD for so long, she was here. right in front of him. )
“You’re—alive?!”
"Please, sit. There is much I need to tell you but not here. His ears are everywhere. Tonight I will tell you more, I promise. But for now I simply needed you to know that I was indeed alive, alright? I am sorry for being gone for all of those years."
( she was now standing as well, placing her hand gently against his cheek while smile. adena wanted to tel him everything then and there but it would only put him in more danger. it would have to wait. but not much longer. )
