A friend of mine brought it back from her beach vacation. She gave me quite a bit. It\u2019s all fresh, and since your brother and I can\u2019t eat that much, I thought I\u2019d share some with you to take home,\u201d Serenity explained.<\/div>\n<div>Callum glanced at his nana. Seeing that she was accepting it, he remarked, \u201cThis is a lot.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Seafood was not something their family typically lacked.<\/div>\n<div>However, since it was a gift from his sister-in-law, he felt obliged to help bring it home.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cNana, don\u2019t forget to give everyone a portion to try.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity had carefully prepared individual portions for each family unit, packaged in separate bags. Once they got home, Grandma May would only need to distribute them accordingly. They were evenly divided.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAlright, I will.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Grandma May waited for Callum to place the seafood in the trunk before getting into the car. She then told Serenity, \u201cI texted Zack earlier, asking him to come over and eat with you before heading back to work at the company.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHe should be on his way now. Callum works at the same company and he\u2019s already here. You should get dinner started. No need to see us off,\u201d she added.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity was momentarily speechless. \u201cNana, you should have mentioned that sooner. I was planning to heat up the leftover lunch, and there\u2019s only enough for me.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIf you start preparing dinner now, you\u2019ll have enough time. Go ahead! Zack often works late, so cook a few extra dishes for him to ensure he has a full meal,\u201d Grandma May encouraged.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity couldn\u2019t refuse Grandma May\u2019s request.<\/div>\n<div>After sending her off, Serenity found herself alone in the bookstore.<\/div>\n<div>She quickly grabbed her phone to text Zachary and inform him.<\/p>\n<p>moment, contemplating her request. Finally, he replied, \u201cSure, I can help with that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity smiled, appreciating his willingness. \u201cGreat! I won\u2019t be long.\u201d She stepped back into her shop to grab her wallet before heading out.<\/p>\n<p>As she walked to the restaurant, she couldn\u2019t help but feel a sense of relief. Unblocking Zachary felt like a weight lifted off her shoulders. The connection they shared had always been there, even if it had been briefly interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>When she returned with the food, she found Zachary rearranging some books that had been out of place. \u201cYou actually did some tidying up,\u201d she remarked, surprised.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary shrugged, a faint smile playing on his lips. \u201cJust trying to help.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>They settled in to eat, and as they shared the meal, the atmosphere shifted. It felt more relaxed, more familiar. Serenity glanced at Zachary, noticing how easy it was to slip back into their rhythm. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, how\u2019s work been?\u201d she asked, trying to keep the conversation light.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBusy as usual,\u201d he replied, \u201cbut I can\u2019t complain.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>They continued to talk, laughter filling the small shop, as if no time had passed since their last conversation. For Serenity, it was a welcome change, and she couldn\u2019t help but hope that this was the start of something new between them.<\/p>\n<p>He gloomily agreed, \u201cOkay.\u201d To reconcile with his wife, the great Zachary York had to eat leftovers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 254 \u201cSerenity, what\u2019s all this?\u201d Callum had noticed the distinct aroma of seafood. \u201cIt\u2019s seafood.
