Lethal Weapon novel Chapter 8

"Let's go to my favorite place." The child led him past the kitchen and Zane saw two doors a few feet away from the dining table. One door was sky blue and the other was painted maroon. They entered the blue one and Zane saw a small room lit dimly. There were six tall shelves with many children's books and comic collections, placed in neat rows. There was a small fireplace on the left side and the right side had three bean bags and a huge sofa facing them. The mini library gave the angel a peaceful feeling. The human didn't know why, but he felt as if the walls held many secrets.

Lily looked proud as she spoke. "Daddy designed this for me."

"I like it." The elder replied.

"Let me show you his happy place." The little girl held his hand gently and Zane felt his heart melt. They went out of the library and opened the door that was next to it.

When they entered the space, Zane saw a lot of workout equipment. "My Daddy is like superman."

This room was like a huge black and white hall. The ceiling had glass windows that were half-open to let the breeze in. Zane saw a variety of equipment set neatly in rows. There was a treadmill and two exercise bikes. He saw three benches and sets of heavy plates, dumbbells, and barbells. In the middle of the room was a huge mat with a big exercise ball on it. There was a black pull up bar attached to one wall. All in all, what Siddarth had built was impressive.

"Next, me and Daddy's garden."

They left the gym and walked out of the house one more time. The child led him to the back of the house where the human saw a huge garden. He was in awe at the view of the beautiful flowers. They were planted randomly, scattered around with small paths to walk in. Zane saw Himalayan poppies, English roses, lilies, and many more colorful flowers scattered together.

"So beautiful." The human whispered in awe as they walked through the rows.

Lily caressed a rose gently and giggled. "The flowers are pretty like you, kitty."
