Day Eighty-One…
~~*****~~
Everyone was surprised to witness Arthur Wayne burst into a peal of unrestrained laughter. He seemed to enjoy his conversation with his grandson's date, Hanabi.
The woman looked a little bit serious so they didn't know what made the old man laugh. There was no way she cracked some joke with a straight face.
"Hanabi, I want to know you more." Alexander's grandfather expressed his interest to know Hanabi.
"I'm fine with that, sir," Hanabi responded with a faint smile.
Meanwhile, Alexander just darted his gaze back and forth between Hanabi and his grandpa. He was worried that Hanabi might say something again that would blow their cover.
His grandfather was a wise man. He could easily detect if someone was lying to him. He wondered if the old man had already figured out that they were a fake couple.
