The Reign Of Terror

The smile that slowly crossed her mother's face told Dahlia she just made the best mistake. 

But then, she couldn't hide the secret forever, sooner or later, her mother was bound to find out - and she just lost one credit point. She failed to keep the kiss a secret from her mother and currently had twelve thousand credit points instead of thirteen in her account.

Dahlia could have waited for the day to be over before she revealed the secret but this was a rare chance to converse with her mother one on one without the presence of her father or sister. She desperately needed to speak to her mother one on one - make her understand her.

"My chi!" Her mother exclaimed, "You did it, Dahlia!" She shook her out of happiness. 

The woman was extremely pleased by the news that she frowned when her daughter didn't share the same excitement as well, "Why? You should be happy?" She noticed her daughter wasn't.
