Josh had always been close to his mother, Cathy. She was his rock growing up and was always there for him no matter what. So when she called him up and invited him to come visit her for the weekend, he jumped at the chance.
As soon as he arrived, Cathy welcomed him with open arms. They hugged and chatted for well over and hour, catching up on all the things they had missed since their last visit. After a hard working week, it was just what Josh needed from his mom.
Later that evening, Cathy suggested that they watch a movie together. Josh happily agreed, and they settled on a romantic comedy.
As they settled into the couch, Cathy brought over a cozy blanket and draped it over their laps. Josh couldn't help but feel a flutter in his chest at her sweet gesture. He had always loved spending time with his mother, but tonight felt different somehow. It was as if there was an unspoken bond between them that was growing stronger with each passing moment.
Cathy laughed at the jokes in the movie and snuggled even closer to Josh when the love scene came on. Her head rested against his chest, and he could feel her steady breathing as she relaxed against his body. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to have such an amazing mother.
As they snuggled up on the couch, side by side, Josh noticed how soft and smooth his mother's skin felt against his arm. It was pure bliss just to be close to her.
As the credits rolled and the movie came to an end, Josh and Cathy stayed curled up on the couch, not wanting the magic, cozy moment to end.
Cathy turned to Josh and smiled. "Do you want a massage, honey?" she asked. "I noticed you were a bit tense earlier."
Josh couldn't believe his ears. Was his mother really offering to give him a massage? But then again, why not? They had always been close and helping each other out was just natural.
