Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Sophia grew increasingly uneasy the further she walked, for she had a hunch who she would be meeting, and a pang of guilt and self-reproach arose within her.

She had already promised Martha back home that she would stay away from Arthur, but now, she had chased him all the way here and even snuck her name into the guest list. Just the thought of it made Sophia ashamed of meeting Arthur’s grandmother.

Sure enough, she found Martha sitting on the couch when they arrived at a quaint hall. The older lady was dressed in a fitting dark silver dress, looking noble and majestic.

“Good evening, Old Madam Weiss,” Sophia greeted Martha.

Martha sized the young woman up in response, not in anger but amiably, pointing toward the seat across from “Have a seat.”
