Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Grandma, we’re done eating. Mr. Flintstone, don’t you have a meeting to attend?” Shirley smiled at Zacharias, her eyes hinting at something.

Zacharias nodded. He, too, didn’t want to disturb their lunch any longer. “Yes, the meeting is about to start.”

“Grandma, Old Madam Dawson, Mr. Dawson, we’ll take our leave. Mr. Dawson, could you please take my Grandma home? Thank you.” She stood up, reached out to grab Zacharias’ arm, and called Tony to come along. “Tony, let’s go!”

She couldn’t leave Tony here; otherwise, her grandmother would overhear everything about her and Zacharias. Tony smiled, said goodbye to everyone, and left. Then, Shirley turned around and reminded Zacharias, “Put on your mask.”

After watching him obediently put on his mask, she nervously looked around before accompanying him downstairs.

Inside the car, Zacharias took off his mask. Shirley let out a sigh of relief and turned to him, scolding him in a low voice, “Why did you come over?”
