Tonight, they sit together, watching the nocturnal wildlife scutter around them. His mother tells him the name of every animal they see, explaining why they are awake so late, what they eat, how they live. Nicholas listens to every word, soaking up the knowledge she bestows upon him.
It is only as Nicholas prepares to go back to his mama that his mother stops him. Her face is just as it was before. Vulnerable, Nicholas realizes. The same way mama looks when she says she loves him.
“One day, Nicky, I’ll need you to come home with me,” Mother says. Her voice is quiet, just barely above a whisper. Her hand slides into his hair, cradling his head. Her thumb strokes the spot just behind his ear, and she smiles with tears in her eyes.
“What about mama?” Nicholas asks.
A single tear falls onto her cheek. “She already knows.”
