Unholy Love
"A mother knows her child better than anyone else. I saw the way you looked at him, the way your eyes lit up when he was around. And I saw how he looked at you too."
I couldn't help but blush even more at her words. "I never thought you would..."
She reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. "I just want you to be happy, sweetheart. And if Xavier makes you happy, then I'm happy for you."
Tears welled up in my eyes again, but this time they were tears of gratitude and love. My mother had always been there for me, always putting my happiness above everything else. It was a love that was unconditional and unwavering, and I felt blessed to have her in my life.
