: Him
MY MOM placed a bowl of soup in front of me and some small snacks in front of Val. Val stared at the delicacies in front of her with a look of horror and much to my surprise she grabbed a cookie and popped it into her mouth.
She chewed with her mouth full. She looked like she was genuinely enjoying it.
"Wow, did you make these? These taste amazing!" she gushed before grabbing another and my mother looked at me with a look of surprise. The smile that was dancing on my lips felt eternal and my heart began to throb with happiness.
By the time we were done eating, it was almost eleven. I took her upstairs to show her her room but she entered mine without a word. She looked around, amused.
The medals and the trophies I received from various dancing contests felt a lifetime away.
She sat on the edge of my bed and urged me to sit next to her. I plopped myself down and turned around to face her.
She ate. She finally ate.
When I looked her right in the eyes, I felt the world cave in. For now, it was just her and I.
