Communication was key.
“Sure.”
Zachary’s hanging mind was at ease.
“You’re sick. Don’t take your drinks cold, and get a doctor's appointment after work. Why don’t you go now instead? Don’t drag on. Do you have a fever?”
Zachary lifted his arm to feel his head. It was burning. No wonder he felt light-headed.
Nevertheless, he did not tell Serenity the truth. “I don’t have a temperature. Don’t worry. I’m feeling fine. I’ll get some medicine from the pharmacy later. How are you at your aunt’s place?
“Are your uncle and cousins good to you?”
“You look a little red. Are you sure you don’t have a temperature, Zachary?”
Serenity had a keen observation.
“My uncle and cousins are nice. I don’t need to say much about Elisa. We hit it off fine. Zachary, blood relation is an amazing thing. Elisa and I have never met before. We didn’t even know we were cousins, but we got on well from the get-go.”
Zachary grinned. “Send my regards to your aunt since I can’t visit her yet. I have time during the New Year’s holidays. I’ll go with you to visit your aunt then.”
He intended to come clean to Serenity about his identity before visiting the Stones.
Zachary would accept it wholeheartedly no matter the response Serenity would have.
As his nana put it, he deserved it.
“My aunt understands. She said that the party tomorrow is to introduce me and my sister to everyone. Zachary, it’d be great if you were here too. I don’t really like this sort of thing. I feel better when you’re with me.
