After a long time she had a small jump in her step, each one that she took to her son's office where now he had been held up for all his days and nights.
It was astonishing that he thought she would not notice that all of a sudden he was not making to their dinners or even breakfasts. How could that foolish boy think that his own mother would not notice his absence, continuous one at that.
Before she could say anything the guard knew and it was already relayed to her son that she was coming to meet him. It was obvious that they had heard and recognised the scent.
"Hello mother," he said and glanced at her for a second. How generous of an of her only child to give her a look while she entered the room.
She nodded but did not step any further and stood in the middle of the room right in front of him.
He waited for something to be said by his mother but when she did not he looked up only to find her not sitting and staring at him.
