From Foes To Friends

By the time Matt, Candace, and Jamal got to Matt's place, it was past midnight already and Jamal slept through the drive.

As Candace tucked Jamal in for the night, he woke up, and then looked around the room, "Is this Matt's house?" He asked curiously, although he was still very sleepy.

Candace nodded, "Yes."

"Are you going to stay here after you marry him?" He asked again, and Candace smiled.

"We are both going to stay here together," she assured him, but he shook his head.

"I'm not going to leave stay here. I will visit you," he said, and Candace frowned.

"Why? Don't you like this place? Don't you want me to marry Matt?" She asked as she joined him on the bed and pulled him closer.

"I don't want to leave grandpa. Grandpa will be lonely if everyone leaves. And I don't want to be far from HAJ," he said, and her frown deepened.

"So, you're saying you want to leave me alone?" She asked, heartbroken at the thought.
