He wasn’t taller than me, so my head could easily reach his shoulder.
“How have you been?” he pulled back, running a hand over his blond, curly hair that barely reached his neck, riffling it, “how’s your mom? Mom told me she was sick a while ago.”
My excitement suddenly dropped.

“She passed away.”
It was Xander who replied, his voice slightly lower than usual.
Matt’s smile disappeared as quickly as it came, looking as if he would rather die than be here right now.
