“You might think it’s just a dream, but you could be acting it out in real life.”
Zachary turned as pale as a ghost.
He anxiously asked, “What happened to Serenity, Nana?”
“I don’t know.”
Grandma May’s intimidation tactic was effective, but she had no idea how Serenity was doing since it was Josh, not her granddaughter-in-law, who drove her inebriated grandson home last night.
Zachary spun around to leave.
“Come back! What time do you think it is? She’ll give you attitude if you wake her up at this hour.”
It was five o’clock in the morning, still well before dawn.
“Also, change out of those wet clothes. You look like you just took a bath in your outfit.”
Ignoring her, Zachary continued to walk out.
“Josh was the one who took you home last night.”
Grandma May had to be honest before her drunken grandson approached Serenity looking like that.
Judging by his pale face, Zachary must have done something to Serenity in his dreams. She would likely be confused if someone pounded on her door first thing in the morning.
Suddenly, Zachary halted and quickly turned back to Grandma May.
“Josh drove me home? Did I do anything to Josh?”
Fuming, Grandma May smacked his arm and scolded, “God knows what you did to Josh. He left right after dropping you off. He didn’t even come in for a drink.”
Zachary looked dejected.
Grandma intentionally asked, “Zachary, what happened in your dream? Josh is your most trusted friend. He dropped you here and then ran away. Did you confuse him with Serenity?”
“Nana!”
Zachary hissed through gritted teeth, “I don’t remember anything!”
His mind was fixated on asking his
Two best friends are out at Neon Nights. He needed a drink after Serenity proposed signing a new contract with him. She needed time to adjust to his status as the heir of the Yorks. While she would attempt to adapt to his world, she wouldn’t force herself if it wasn’t right for her. If it wasn’t meant to be, Serenity hoped Zachary would also refrain from pushing the agenda and would let it go.
