Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Shirley left a good impression on her. After dinner, Shirley took a present from the waiter and presented it to the second lady of Dansbury. Delighted, the lady hugged Shirley and gave her a present in return. The dinner finally came to an end, and Shirley eased up a little. She stood with Zacharias, sending the second lady and gentleman of Dansbury off. Once their vehicle was out of sight, Shirley heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head, asking, “Did I embarrass you?”

Zacharias put an arm around Shirley’s waist and leaned down. “No. You made me proud.”

Shirley smiled. That was the best praise she could receive. Zacharias took her into the car, but before that, Shirley saw the waiter walking to them with the present. She asked Zacharias, “Where are we sending this gift?”

Amused, Zacharias said, “The second lady of Dansbury gave you that. It belongs to you.”

Shirley was surprised she could keep the present.
