She also has a great figure with all the right curves and just enough cuddle where it counts. God knew I was counting on those cuddles. She wears these sleek silver-rimmed glasses that ever so slightly magnify her cool blue eyes. When she smiles I forget everything else around me.

Mum planned to drop into town on the Friday. That gave me enough time to talk my situation over with the boss so that I could grab a week off for some much needed de-stressing. Ron asked me what took so long, stating that he could see that I was struggling and that my work was suffering. He was quick to give me some time off. So mum wouldn’t have to sit around bored waiting for me to get home every night.

I met her at the terminal at 4pm with a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek, grabbed her luggage and drove her to the supermarket to grab some amenities, and then home where immediately we opened the white wine as she flew about the kitchen preparing some much needed home cooking, the way nobody else knew how.

There was nothing like my mother’s cooking. After living off of tinned food and microwave dinners, the heavenly, hearty, aroma of the spaghetti and meatballs, bolognese sauce and garlic bread had my stomach grumbling anticipation as I tipped back the wine, watching mum work her magic. And the wine was getting to me quickly – empty stomach!

‘It’s nice to see a real woman in the kitchen again,’ I said without thinking. She thought that over and laughed to herself.

‘No contest,’ she said immodestly and grinned as she sampled the sauce and then brought the spoon to my mouth. The rich tomato, garlic and herb flavours might have brought tears of joy to my eyes had I not already felt the alcohol’s effects. I groaned my full approval and nodded.

‘Good?’

‘Amazing,’ I declared gratefully. I was up in an instant, wrapping my arms around my mother and holding her close to me. ‘I’m sorry,’ I muttered discreetly into her shoulder, ‘I can’t help myself. I’m happy to see you again.’

‘Okay,’ she said with a slightly startled tone. Behind me one arm stuck out at an awkward angle as she tried to keep her wooden spoon at a safe distance. Light-heartedly she warned, ‘let’s not get saucy…’

I took a step back, awkwardly looked at her, and then when she moved my attention to the tomato sauce-covered spoon in her hand, I abandoned concern for laughter. Setting the pans to a lower simmer, she turned back to me, took my cheeks in her hands and kissed me full on the lips, soft, warm, and full of love. I fell right into it and reciprocated with a loving smooch, inhaling her and pulling her into me by her shoulders.

‘I’ve missed that,’ I told her.

‘Me too,’ she consoled. Then, ‘why did you stop talking to me? I was afraid I’d done something wrong.’

‘Stupid me, I guess,’ I said, offering a half-wit expression. ‘I think I was more afraid that I’d want to quit my job and run back home.’

‘And I’d have been fine with that,’ she remarked, tipping up her own glass and swallowing before kissing me on the cheek. ‘I do miss having a reliable man around. Independence doesn’t boil down to an empty home, you know. I always gave you your space.’

Shortly after, we sat down to eat.

When I snapped out my food coma an hour and a half later, I was reclined in my leather chair in front of the television and feeling great, aside from the slight hang over. Wine did that to me. It hit me so easily and then the comedown was just as quick. But just the ability to relax and not worry about work; to appreciate what I had made all the difference to my mood already.

The clock now read 8pm, which I barely made out through blurry eyes. Then the next thing I could make out was the rattle of pots and pans in the kitchen. She was cleaning up, no doubt having grown restless as I napped. Some things never changed, not that I was ungrateful.

‘I’m so sorry, mum, I’d have done that,’ I said, hurrying into the kitchen to pick up the dishcloth, but she was already done. Now she stood rolling her eyes at me as if to say, “sure… sure you would!”
