Revealing Kia
“I wanted Kia. I wanted to have her. But time and my family stood in my way.

Usually I cherished that single day, but not this time. I wanted it to end. I wanted everyone to leave so I could finally see Kia in her gift to me. I wanted to see her in my dress shirt and the tie and nothing else. If the universe was trying to teach me patience, it was doing a good job.
