Act Of God

"Wanna punch in the nose? Just hold me like this for a bit, you idiot!" Victoria growled into my chest, and I smiled, patting her head.

"You should try to get used to it, Vic. It's really beautiful up there, and I would like to show you what I have created for all of us," I said, kissing the top of her head.

Victoria looked up at me with a frown and then punched me in the stomach to no effect and then started to growl.

"I don't like heights!" Victoria snapped.

"Neither did I, but at least you only had to get thrown once. This time will be different, I can stay low for now, and the grass is bringing out the chest you left in the house. I don't really want to walk back, and I would like to get a look at the city as it is still growing. You can't tell me you don't want to see that, am I right?" I asked with a big grin, and Victoria clenched my white shirt in her hands.
