Marla's eyes gleamed with greediness as she leaned in closer to her daughter, Maurice, her voice filled with anticipation. "This is the day we've been waiting for," she whispered, her tone laced with excitement.
Maurice's lips curled into a grin as she eagerly absorbed her mother's words. "Is Crystal already in the secluded house?" she asked, a hint of impatience in her voice.
Marla nodded, "Yes, everything is in place," she confirmed. But as Maurice's excitement waned, a shadow of sadness crossed her features.
Realizing her daughter's hesitation, Marla reached out and gently cupped Maurice's face in her hands. "It's time to say goodbye to your old life," she said, her voice tinged with urgency. "Once your soul transfers to Crystal's body, there's no turning back."
