Chapter sixty-four

"And that's how it happened" I explained everything to Blake as granny was setting the dinner table and Charlie sat beside me.

I explained everything to him, Charlie already knew she was a smart kid.

"Late lunch is served," she said in a sing-song voice.

The sun was already setting, so I had to leave when it got dark first. When it was time, I went to Charlie's room at granny's place.

"Is it that important that you have to go right away?" she asked, disappointed.

"It's not going to be long," I said softly, putting a kiss on her forehead.

"Make sure to come back safe"

"And you make sure to stay safe and protect granny" she nodded, 

With one last hug, I left her room.

I felt a slight tug in my heart. The living room was quiet and granny sat down, knitting her scarf. Without turning back she said, "you don't have to worry she is safe with me. I may be old but I still got something left in me" then she turned with a soft smile.
