Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Imogen caught wind of that. So, she started coming up with a plan, and she asked Roy, “Captain Barlowe, may I stay back with Shirley?”

Roy refused it at first. Then, he had an audience with Zacharias and told him about Imogen’s request. Zacharias knew Imogen was Shirley’s friend, so he promptly agreed to it, “She can stay with Shirley.”
