Seeing @staerkster_mann is a bit jarring. It’s like looking at an old photo of herself.

No, Levi is much prettier, she decides. A beautiful young woman.

@scoutsdeathgrip Time. As long as you are doing well, then I’m fine. Besides, absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

“When Levi was young, he would go outside and pick me flowers for Valentines Day.”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@scoutsdeathgrip “You’re just as sweet now as you were as a child.” And for that comment, she does give his cheek an affectionate pinch.

“Don’t apologize for having a life, Levi. I’m just glad you visit as much as you do. I understand things are difficult and you don’t always have—

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@scoutsdeathgrip Even at her age now, her smile remains as youthful and radiate as it always had been.

“You don’t have to do anything for me, my boy. Besides, isn’t there someone else you’d rather take out to dinner? A young man or woman?” She squeezes his hand in return, her tone playful.

@scoutsdeathgrip “I tried to warn you, but you were so stubborn.

Those were the best valentines gifts I ever received.”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

“My sweet Levi.”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

“I expect to see you and Erwin over today. Tell him I made his favorite pie!”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

“Happy birthday, my sweet boy.”

@staerkster_mann She finished her sentence by sliding a plate across the counter and in front of Levi.

Then, she went to pour his tea.

“Christmas is special to me, you know. I love it.”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@staerkster_mann “Well, it’s very handsome. I love that you kept your undercut.” She paused only to give him a warm, closed lip smile before continuing.

“Yeah, there was a sell on those really nice ones with three wicks. I thought it was the perfect scent for the upcoming holidays.”—

@commxnder_smith His actions.

“Tea or coffee?”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@commxnder_smith Kuchel spots the Prius pull in from her kitchen window and watches Erwin walk to her front door. Once the doorbell rings, she makes her way to the door. After the second ring, she opens the door.

“Erwin. Hello, come on in.” Her tone is soft, which is unexpected given—

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@staerkster_mann Should. Levi tends to self-blame and she knows how destructive that can be.

She won’t pressure him until he’s ready to talk.

“Your haircut is nice.” Small talk. Safe talk.

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@staerkster_mann Kuchel steps back to allow him inside, closing the door behind him.

“Put your bag down and we’ll get to it later.” Then she toddles off to the kitchen to put on the kettle and make him a sandwich. Something quick and easy, since he probably hasn’t been eating like he—

“Hange Zoe…”

“A word with you, please.”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@staerkster_mann It right now. Just come inside and I’ll make you something to eat. Maybe a cup of your favorite tea?”

Only then, she pulled away to wipe fallen tears from Levi’s cheeks with her thumbs.

“It’ll all be alright.”

[—— Kuchel Ackerman @KuchelAckermom]

@staerkster_mann Oh— Definitely not good. That sob is heartbreaking for a mother to hear, especially when it comes from a child who has always been so strong and brave.

Kuchel’s hand pats his back as the other pulls the back of his head into her shoulder.

“Shh— You don’t have to talk about—

@staerkster_mann Big he had gotten, it was still as if she was hugging the same little boy who used to follow her everywhere.
