Prompt Image

K’tanya watched as her daughter moved through the water with what seemed to be almost effortless ease. Destiny had always taken to the water, often spending hours in the bathtub even as a toddler. Now she had joined the swim team at school and rarely seemed to leave the pool.

Given her own fiery nature, K’tanya didn’t really understand Destiny’s love of the water. She wondered if perhaps it was a trait the child had inherited from her father.

“Yeah…”

“I don’t think so, Kismet. If you really want to go fishing then you can just go ask Adam. I’m sure he’ll absolutely love the idea.”
