Zachary sat outside for a while before getting ready to go back to work. Serenity came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. Seeing that he needed to go, Serenity walked with him to his car.
Keeping to himself, Zachary grabbed the envelope from his car and turned around to hand it to Serenity. He said in a husky voice, “It’s all in here.”
Serenity took the evidence of Hank’s infidelity, intending to thank him once more. Looking into his dark and profound eyes, Serenity looked around and gave up on the thought when she saw people around them.
“Watch out on the road. Send me a text message when you’re at the office, so I know you got there safely.”
Zachary pressed his lips together before acknowledging gruffly that he heard her.
After getting into the car, he gave her a lingering look and drove off.
Serenity stood there and watched as his car accelerated away while feeling something had changed between them
It felt a bit like love.
Perhaps she should not hide in her shell anymore. She could try and poke her head out to give love another go.
There was still a chance since the six-month agreement had not come to an end.
With that in mind, Serenity took out her phone and sent a text message to Zachary.
Serenity: [I wanted to kiss you just now, but I chickened out because there were people on the street.]
She did not get an immediate reply after hitting the send button.
Serenity paused for a moment before taking the envelope back to the shop.
Sonny was asleep in his mother’s arms.
Jasmine was enjoying cuddles with the two kittens when Serenity returned to the shop. She asked, “Has your man left?”
“Yeah. His lunch break is over. His work can get busy. He often gets home at midnight.”
Serenity stroked the kittens.
Zachary gave her two ragdolls all at once. Honestly, Zachary was very good to her.
