It was bothering her, more than a little, to let him go. To be alone in a rattling apartment, to have him running off all over the country, Godknowswhere.

Eating right, sleeping enough, safe and healthy and happy. She'd done all she could do, and it was time to let him go.
None of which stopped her from giving him an embarrassingly motherly hug.
