I bet your mother would be proud of you.

Everyone knew the story of Leo and his mom, and they knew how he was always guilty thinking he had been the cause of his mother’s passing.

You recently met him, and obviously you hadn’t known the situation, so when you and him became friends, you didn’t know it at all.

He was showing you his inventions, clearly showing and bragging them off as you smiled, before saying something.

“Wow. I bet your mom is really proud.” You said, before facing away from him, admiring the inventions.

His smile faltered slightly, thinking, before having a genuine soft smile. Usually he’d cry, but this time, he didn’t for some reason, hearing it from you.
