[Relief spreads through him as he nods. Part of him worried, especially these days, that once she had the chance to say more than just 'hi' to him, she would realise she didn't want him as family anymore. And if he lost her, the family he'd been waiting for since the first time he got a letter back, well, that would just be the final nail in the coffin. Why bother trying if your own family doesn't want you anymore?

But okay. She does. He's so glad. He's just so, so glad that he has to hug her again. This time he doesn't hesitate, even if his nerves remain a little on edge.]

Um, you can be my grandma if you fancy that! Or I can be your grandson I mean? Or the other way around! I'm happy with whatever we are because we are family. I apologise if I seem a bit sensitive.
