Elizabeth had moments where she’d share with Leslie what she needed to, and he the same. That didn’t mean she wouldn’t cry over the sad parts, but recently, she’d stop crying over her son. Leslie helped with that, he would never replace Alex, but he was just as sweet and innocent.
She would be the mother he needed in his life if he’d have her, and he could be the son in her life
However, the thought came to her on how she’d been sharing memories of her son to him when he hasn’t said anything about his parents, he didn’t have any. That alone bothered her. He had the prettiest head of hair she ever saw, and sure, he had problems, but everybody did. Nobody’s perfect.
“Leslie?” Elizabeth called to him in a soft voice, placing a gentle hand upon his shoulder, but then took it away, unsure on how he was feeling today with touching. Raising a corner of her lips, Elizabeth tried to think of what to do...nothing came to her so she gave a faint smile his way.
“Would you like to do anything?” She asked softly. Elizabeth had her time to mourn of her son who passed and now she was taking care of Leslie, at least, in her mind she was so it was better for her to focus on the one son that was alive rather than obsess over the one whom passed.
