Chapter 40: Morla's Dream

[2035 - Day 3]

[JUSTIN]

I scroll on Morla's garden with Kia, as if it's our own, feeling the breeze on our skin and being enchanted by the view like it's the first time.

"I feel home here, Daddy," says Kia, smiling.

"Where's Morla?"

"Inside the room I guess, with Leo and Micaela."

"Okay." I stop Kia's footsteps and turns her body to face me. She's 14 years old now, and I no longer need to squat to talk to her. "Show me what you've got."

Kia smiles widely as she pats my right arm softly. "How do you feel, Daddy?"

My mood has suddenly changed. There's so much peace I feel inside my heart that makes me really happy.

"Wow. Suddenly I feel so happy. Contented. Relaxed. Is this...?"

Kia nods and grabs my hand, asking me to follow her. "I've been practicing this skill for quite a long time.. Manipulating people's emotions."

"Kia Madden. Don't you ever try to use that to me when I'm angry to you."
