Zacharias smiled. “A couple always share a room, don’t they?”
“But we’re not a real couple!” Shirley protested quietly.
“Then we’ll become one,” replied Zacharias seriously. Quietly, Shirley requested, “Can’t you ask them to free up two rooms for us?”
Zacharias answered hoarsely, “No. They’re going to tell everyone we’re not on great terms.”
“They won’t.”
“Just deal with it and share a room with me for a couple of nights.” Zacharias wouldn’t help her.
Speechless, Shirley bit her lip. She couldn’t exactly say if she was looking forward to this, but she wasn’t insisting on getting another room.
They had a candlelit dinner that night. There were only two of them, but they were served with more than twenty dishes. They weren’t big enough to fill the couple, but they tasted good.
Shirley had a nice time. After dinner, she went through the art gallery and jewelry exhibit to wash her food down. At nine, she came to the master bedroom. She saw a pink, revealing nightgown on the hanger beside the bed and a
gray pair of men’s pajamas draped beside it. Shirley stared at the nightgown, stunned. Zacharias crossed his arms, staring at her challengingly. “I challenge you to wear that nightgown.”
*Challenge accepted. After all, I have a nice body.” Shirley would not refuse a challenge, and she was easily riled up. Zacharias leaned down. “Wear it for me tonight.”
