Redhawk Caldera mommy's boy

Eljay willed for the distance to be closed between them, but he somehow was frozen in place and could not move. Her apology fell mostly to deaf ears, for he barely listened to anything but the sweet, soft tone in her voice. He wanted only to lay by her side for the rest of the day, maybe week, to drown in her embrace -- mommy's embrace, for no hug was like a mother's.

He closed the distance between them, crawling across the ground from where he'd lain, and pressed his head against mommy.That was when emotion overpowered him, and Eljay broke into a mess of sobs while he stammered; "I... I was so lost, mommy..." But she was here, she was really here, and so everything was fine again.
