“See you.”
Jasmine did not avert her eyes from the book she was reading the entire time. Serenity observed how intently she was reading and teased her, “Jas, you’ve probably read all the books lying around here enough times to recite them from memory. It’s a wonder to me that you’re still amused by the same books over and over.
“Why don’t you learn to write a novel? With your years of experience as a bookworm, I guarantee your work will be a hit that’s going to fly off the shelves. I promise you I’ll place your books in the most prominent spot.
“What do you say? Embark on your journey as a star author.”
Jasmine smiled and dismissed the idea, “I just enjoy reading, writing is not for me. I’m so lazy that the only thing that would motivate me to move at all is good food, but you’re expecting me to write an entire novel? Besides, do you think writing a book is easy as you make it out to be? Just coming up with the plot alone is going to make you pull your hair out.”
Serenity grabbed the car keys and the same wallet she had used for ages. Then, she took her dear nephew by the hand and prepared to go shopping for groceries.
She candidly noted to Jasmine, “Take inspiration from real life and write about the love affair between you and Mr. Bucham—a guaranteed hit right there.”
“Our relationship is too straightforward and boring. There were no unexpected twists and love rivals for me to talk about. On that note, your experiences with Zachary would make a good story, but I’m not going to write it. Why don’t you consider writing a biography?”
Serenity grinned, “I'm not interested in doing that either. I’m busy enough as is. Oh, by the way, I’m attending this banquet tomorrow with my man. Are you going as well?”
“Yeah, Josh has been telling me about it. Speaking of which, our engagement ceremony is coming up soon. You and Zachary must attend no matter what! It’s going to be set before May for sure. He had his family pick out the earliest date possible. I’ve never seen anyone in such a rush to get married.”
“That’s because he loves you very much. He can’t wait to marry you and take you home to pamper you.”
Jasmine chuckled, Josh was certainly very fond of her.
Their relationship had always been very stable. There was never any kind of dramatic disagreements, and they always kept it plain and simple. It seemed to be working out for the loving couple and their marriage was going to turn out more than just fine.
