His mother had come home to comfort him later that day.

He revealed that he found a letter.

'From who?'
'Her,' he replied.

His mom inhaled sharply. Her son had lost the light in his eyes, his body was limp and he hadn't eaten or showered properly in days.

Tears filled her eyes but she tried to keep them at bay.

Looking into his eyes, she slowly pried away the letter that was clasped tightly in his hand. Folding the now crumpled paper she kept it on the table nearby.

'Go freshen up Aurum. I'll clean up your room and when you get back, you can read the letter.'

She kissed his forehead and proceeded to tidy his room.

He glanced towards the paper on the table nearby and turning away got up to freshen up.
