It was only now that Duke realized just how much Kisha had already thought ahead.
Even before they left, she had been making careful plans for their territory.
The more he explored, the clearer it became: this was the solution Kisha had mentioned before the apocalypse began.
She had always been confident, telling him that she had found a way to manage their base, no matter where they were.
Now, he understood. She had devised a strategy to ensure their territory would remain safe and secure, a place where they could raise livestock, grow crops, and sustain themselves.
'No wonder she was so confident back then,' Duke thought with a mixture of admiration and awe.
He looked down at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms, her features softened in rest.
A fond smile spread across his face as he reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose.
