Serenity and Zachary were an old married couple now.
A while later, Serenity emerged from the bedroom and watched as Grandma May kept up the act of rummaging for her non-existence reading glasses. Serenity uttered, “Never mind if you can’t find them, Nana. I’ll go with you to get another pair of glasses later.”
“Alright. I’ll stop looking then. I’m getting old. My memory isn’t as good anymore. I remember putting them here, but I can’t find them now. Maybe the glasses grew a pair of legs and ran off.”
Serenity replied with a smile, “Maybe they grew a pair of wings and flew away like a butterfly.”
Grandma May thought it was a shame. “Oh, I didn’t get to see them flying away like a butterfly.”
Serenity was amused by the old lady’s antics.
“When did you come home last night, Nana?”
“I was back before you were. I went to bed early last night. I don’t know what time you guys came home last night.”
Although Serenity was skeptical of Grandma May’s answer, she left the conversation at that.
After the trio enjoyed breakfast together, Grandma May talked about having a chat with the other ladies in the neighborhood and left. Zachary drove Serenity to the shop.
Serenity gave her sister a call while on her way to the shop.
“How was business this morning, Liberty?”
“Good. I was swamped with customers. I was lucky that Mrs. Lane came to help me first thing in the morning. I can hire someone if business is this good every day.” Since Mrs. Lane worked for her sister, Liberty could not always rely on Mrs. Lane for help.
Liberty did not want to hire anybody in the beginning as she had no idea how the business would turn out.
“Your business will always be booming.” Serenity believed her sister’s breakfast diner would be a hit the moment her sister decided to go into the food and beverage line.
“Seren, I’ll talk to you when I’m not so busy in the afternoon.”
Liberty was so busy that she had no time for a chat with her sister on the phone.
