Diego stood up smartly.
"Ok, let's go!"
Vaten hopped onto Diego's shoulder.
Diego rummaged in his rucksack suddenly, pulling out a pad and pen. He scribbled a note and left it on the table as they left.
Dear mother,
I understand that what happened was not your fault and that you were always an excellent parent.
However, I am not ready to talk to you as of yet.
I'll stay in touch,
Diego
