They slowly walked to the Tower, and when they approached the entrance, Leah turned and said, “Thank you, Thad, that was a magical night, I haven’t laughed that much ever.”
He reached for her and then kissed her gently but passionately and then said, “I enjoyed it too.”
He took a step back and disappeared. Leah smiled and sighed and then walked into the Tower. She headed to the garden and just sat thinking about the night. Finally, she said, “Gèng, do you think you could make a room with a record of tonight. A place I can go and remember it. The prizes and some images of the night.”
“Of course Leah, but somehow I don’t think you’ll forget it. Those chemicals we’ve talked about, they help fix things in your memory. You’ll not forget tonight for a long time. Now go have a break before you have to face Eli and the others.”
Leah smiled and exited the Pod. She found her mother in the kitchen preparing dinner, and she sat and talked about the date. She shared everything including the kiss. Together they laughed and talked, and Leah’s good mood lasted through the meal, and she was still thinking about Thad when she entered the Pod and the Tower.
Walking toward the portal she stopped, sat and quietly meditated for several minutes until she had settled her mind. Rising she saw Gèng watching her. Leah said, “Is everything all right?”
“Yes! I was just pondering your ability to refocus your mind. I can compartmentalise, but it is difficult to leave something unresolved. I am hoping my build will clear my processors.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have many unanswered questions, and I read that a complete build helps to clarify and clean things up by reorganising my programming to be more efficient. It also has the potential to find a resolution to problems that are currently irresolvable.”
“Well, we were going to do the build on Sunday by why don’t we do the build tomorrow morning, I will be meeting the bosses and can do some work around the compound if the build takes long.”
“Thank you, Leah.”
“No problems. Friends help each other. Now to Dunyanin.”
