When His Eyes Opened

Avery got up from bed, she looked at the series of numbers for a few seconds before answering the call

She never thought that once the call got through, a video appeared.

“Mommy!” Hayden’s crisp voice came through.

Avery looked at Hayden’s face and said excitedly, “Hayden! How did you call me on video?”

“I hacked into the camp’s internet and called using a virtual account.” Hayden had a rare smile. 

“Mommy, is Layla back already?”

“She is, but she just went out with Uncle Mike. They are not back yet.” Avery’s face was filled with tenderness, “Hayden, are you adapting well there? Your teacher just called me a few days ago and said that you made a few international  friends.”

“Mommy, I’m grown up. You don’t have to worry about me.” Hayden’s voice sounded like a little man

“How could I not worry about you? Even if you’ve grown up in the future, I’ll still miss you and worry about you.” Avery looked at her son’s face. No matter how much she looked it was not enough for her.
