The sun was up high by the time both of them left the cemetery. Alex helped Hazel into the passenger's seat and slid into the driver's seat. When he put the keys into the ignition, Alex noticed the way Hazel was looking at him and turned to look at her.
Alex let out a chuckle. "What is it?"
"Do you have to go to the office after this?" Hazel asked.
"No. I told my dad that I won't be coming in today," Alex said. He grasped her hand and planted a kiss on her wrist. "Today, I'm going to accompany you. What do you have in mind?"
Hazel lowered her head for a few seconds, then spoke, "Do you want to come home with me? Not the place where I'm staying with my uncle and Auntie Edith, but the place where I stayed with my parents."
Alex watched the person beside him and nodded. "Alright."
