A Shaolin Easter to Remember

A year later
"Pop, you here?"
It was early morning and Peter came into his father's rooms. The light shined bright from the restored window leading out to the terrace. Peter spotted his father watering his herbs.
"Peter, good morning. What brings you here so early." Without turning around, Kwai Chang Caine had addressed his son.
Peter was no longer surprised at the way his father could sense his presence without seeing him.
"I brought you something. You might call it an anniversary gift but this time I picked it out myself."
Peter held up a basket wrapped with an orange ribbon. Kwai Chang at first was reluctant to take it.
"It's okay. There's no bomb in it. I checked it out carefully before they wrapped it."
Kwai Chang took the basket and proceeded to open it. Inside were a selection of teas, two new teacups, and a chocolate yin and yang symbol, one side being white, the other dark.
"I couldn't remember if you liked chocolate but the store owner assured me that it wouldn't hurt to try. Besides, it's the thought that counts right?"
Kwai Chang did not say a word but took in the gift with pride and joy.
"Uh, one more thing, Happy Easter."
