He played in the puddles as he waited. This was his third day at his new school.
Momma was so happy when they moved here. He remembers their first night when she pulled him close and told him, “We are safe now baby. We don’t have to worry anymore.”
He was not sure what she meant by that or why she decided to move all the way out here, so he simply hugged her back as she tucked in his covers.
He continues playing when he sees his mom pull up.
She smiles, hugs him and ask, “how was your day?”
He replies, “It was fun. I met some more friends.”
They get into the car and head home.
She smiles at him through the rearview mirror thinking to herself, they are finally safe and they will never have to live in fear again.
She is completely unaware of what lies ahead.

That seems pretty mysterious, like maybe they will still have to live in fear.
