No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Fanny chuckled, "Sure."

"Wow, that was easy. Have you checked with Yates?" I teased.

Fanny replied, "No questions asked."

I instantly got it, "Tomorrow isn't about you two wanting some alone time, is it?"

"Well, a double date could work too," Fanny winked at me before turning away.

Watching her walk away, I could tell she didn't want Yates to leave, but she was too stubborn to admit it.

"We should treat them to something special tomorrow, maybe plan something extra," I whispered to Ernest.

Ernest didn't catch my drift this time, "Like what?"

I leaned closer. "A luxury penthouse suite."

Ernest didn't book the penthouse, but he managed to reserve a table at Seabreeze City's most upscale restaurant for Yates' farewell dinner.

"You two are going all out," Fanny said, now treating me as the future Mrs. Collins after Ernest's proposal.

"Yates saved Susie's life; it's the least we can do," Ernest replied graciously to Yates.
