Shirley rested her head on Zacharias’ shoulder and happily enjoyed the piggyback ride. “I loved piggyback rides when I was little,” said Shirley, reminiscing.
“You were adorable as a child. Of course, everyone loved to give you piggyback rides.” Zacharias smiled. He was reminded of Shirley when she was younger, and he cursed himself for never trying to even give her a hug.
Shirley asked, “Was I really that cute when I was a kid?”
“Yep, you were,” said Zacharias honestly, nodding. Shirley was reminded of that time he brought up the talk about kids. If we have kids, I wonder who they’ll take after. Me or him?
Christmas was coming soon. Shirley got a call from her mother. Her folks were coming back, so she went home and told the servants to clean the whole place. It would be good to have a reunion. It had only been ten minutes after Shirley hung up when her mother called again. It surprised Shirley. Did Mom forget to tell me something? She took the call. “Hey, Mom. Anything you need to tell me?”
“I just talked to your grandmother. She told me you’re dating Zacharias? Is that true?” Angela was shocked like she had heard the most fantastical news.
Shirley pursed her lips. Okay, didn’t think Grandma would spill the tea. Sheepish but honest, Shirley answered, “Yes, we’re dating.”
“Tell us when you’re taking him to see us. We need to get ready for it.” Angela smiled.
Shirley thought Angela would lecture her. After all, she did start dating without telling her family. She didn’t think Angela would talk about the meeting with the parents. “You and Dad have to get ready before you come back. Zacharias said we’ll be celebrating Christmas together. Both our families.”
“Oh, that’s fast.” Angela was delighted. “I thought we’d have to wait for a while.”
“You aren’t surprised I’m dating someone, Mom?” Shirley asked, curious.
