Freyah stared at him, her voice hushed in awe. "What… what is that? A skill? Magic?"
Tatay Timothy shook his head. "I don't know. But whatever it is, it's useful. With this power, I can store food and supplies, which could save lives." He grinned at her but quickly added, "But this could also attract trouble. So, Freyah, promise me you'll keep this a secret."
"I will," Freyah said with a reassuring smile, still marveling at the phenomenon. This was her first encounter of skills.
Her gaze shifted between Timothy's hand and the burger. Then, she glanced at Cherylle, lying on the bed. "That kind of food is probably a luxury now. Honestly, I'm a little jealous," she said with a light laugh.
Timothy joined in her laughter, and for a brief moment, the gloom of the apocalypse seemed to lift.
