(childhood memory)

Before his mom switched jobs, he only saw her in the morning before work or late at night if he managed to stay up. Staying up wasn't easy though....not until he found some old dvds in storage one day. He spent a lot of time as a kid exploring the house and backyard, so he'd seen the storage room before. However, his mom told him not to go in there without her since there might be glass and sometimes the door jams if you let it swing shut. It was one of the few rules he tried his best to listen to for awhile.

She went on a week trip and she had relatives over checking on him. None of them were his mom, so he spent most of that week daydreaming of a world where he was also a movie star and could be on set with her. Taylor was a cheery kid though and there was still plenty of fun to be had otherwise. But the longer she was away, the more he wanted to go explore that room. Finally, the week was coming to an end and he managed to avoid breaking the promise!

He gets a video call while on the couch, of his mom trying to explain in the gentlest way that a storm delayed her flight. She'll be home around three am and that she's sorry about having to cancel the little return dinner at their fav family restaurant tonight. His relatives had already left for the day, so he eats leftovers from last night's meal alone and rubs at his eyes. The kid lingers in front the house door for thirty minutes after putting his dishes into the dish washer and then heads to bed.

Instead of ending up in front his mom's room, Taylor stands in front the storage room. He goes in and makes sure to use one box to keep the door propped open. It's atleast ten minutes before he happens upon this box at the far left side with the words 'Nicky's stuff part 1'. He coughs and sneezes, brushing away the dust on it and opens it to find several old dvds and abandoned USB drives.

Its how he ends up watching death note on his mom's second laptop while bundled in blankets and clutching pillows. The kid, about 6, is so sucked in by the lively and dark animated scenes that he doesn't even notice 3 am roll by.

Or the sound of an engine coming close and turning off

Or keys opening the door

Or even the bedroom door squeaking open

Taylor made a habit of always sleeping in his mom's room when she was gone since it smelled like her (or her perfume). Bundling up in the covers was almost like a hug.

Still can't compare to how it felt to look up from the screen and see his mom at the door. The feel of her hair tickling his cheeks and her arms tucking him in close as she swept him right into a hug and then flopped onto the bed, nearly knocking the laptop over. She didn't even mention the obvious storage box on the floor, only talking about how much she'd missed him and loved him. As she talked and he hugged onto her as tightly as he could muster, Taylor says a few muffled love yous and a 'welcome home, Mom' before their affectionate little conversation and his mom's warm hug lulls him to sleep.
