Eye Candy - chapter 249 - Mother


As our song ends, he kisses me softly. "I love you."


I echo his words, and we walk hand in hand toward our mothers. They watch us with the radiant love only a mother can hold for her child.


I watch Edward whisper to Elizabeth as they step on the dance floor. With a smile, I escort Mom to the opening sounds of "I Hope You Dance."


Holding her close, I hum along.


I hope you still feel small 
When you stand by the ocean


She touches my cheek tenderly. "I'm so proud of you, son."


I whisper, "Thanks, Mom."
