Can't a father go out with his family again without something ruining it? I would have been happy if it had been just traffic causing the issue, but no, it had to be something much more outrageous – the apocalypse. Imagine what was supposed to be a family outing turning into a fight for survival against zombies in an instant. It doesn't change much, though. I'm still trying to be the best husband and father I can be, and the apocalypse ain't changing that!
Malachi doubted what he just heard. He turned to look at David and then turned to look at Leo before returning his gaze back to David.
He felt he must have misheard.
"Sorry, what did you say again?" he inquired.
Seeing his father's reaction was a little surprising to David, as his reaction to his words was unexpected.
For one, Malachi was supposed to be unaware of the power of the zombie they had fought, so that shouldn't have been a reason for his reaction even if he did tell his father the zombie had been strong.
At most, Malachi should have shown a doubting expression rather than a surprised one.
"The crystal heart is from a zombie, Dad," David repeated as he watched the expression of his father shift again. This time it was one of doubt, though it came late.
"Was there anything different about this zombie?" Malachi asked, with his gaze still fixated on the unique-looking crystal heart he had in his hand.
