A Moment in Destiny

“There is food in the refrigerator in kitchen!” he said, and then he stood up and walked towards the French window, looking at the dark night outside. It was very cold in the hills in late autumn, there being mist over the window.

Sherry eyed him suspiciously and she suddenly felt so familiar to this figure. It looked like William Rowland, but they sounded differently. She shook her head to get rid of her silly thought. She felt weird that William Rowland had occupied her mind recently and she should think of him again because the man in front of her. What a heck!

She put her bag on the sofa and asked softly, “What do you want to eat?”

“Whatever!” not picky, but he sounded very tired.

When she walked to the kitchen on the first floor, she turned back, unsurely, but finally opened her mouth, “Sir, I’ll check with you again that you said I can stay with my child, does it mean that I could tell him I’m his mommy?”

Still standing in front of the French window, he turned back and answered, “Yes!”

Her heart was beating wildly with that. How could it be possible? He said she may tell her son that she was his mother? Such ecstasy came over her that she nearly can’t control it for a moment, a radiant smile taking place of the uneasiness on her small face. “I’ll cook right now!”

William watched her back as she walked into the kitchen, and he took a drag on his cigarette, wondering in what way he should take off his mask and how she would react if he did it.

He had never been so worried about a thing, but this moment, worries clouded him.

“Sir, why don’t you have a cup of coffee first before dinner?” Sherry saw there was newly bought coffee beans in the kitchen, so she made a cup and served it on the coffee table, “The dinner will be ready soon!”

The hope in her heart brought her a light mood. In a short while, she cooked four dishes and one soup and took them on the dining table. “Sir, it’s time to eat!”

Though there was not much passion in her voice, apparently, she sounded friendlier. William still can’t let go of his worries.

Looking at her little face, he frowned slightly, without her noticing it. “Good! Please sit down!”

He strode over, put out the cigarette in the ashtray and went to wash his hands, twice-he didn’t forget it. Sherry observed the way he washed his hands at the kitchen sink, and again she felt so familiar to this scene.

“You…..?” she asked in a trance, “Do I know you?”

He stiffened and said other things, “Maybe you can consider sleeping in the guest room upstairs tonight!” Then he stood up and went upstairs.

She had thought he wouldn’t let her go easily, after all, they spent their time on the bed at their first meeting, but he seemed to have no interest in her tonight.

She watched his back, sunk in thought.

He said she had time to think. His gentle tone made him sound very considerate.

Sherry did the dishes and put them in the cupboard before she took her bag up to the second floor. She went to the guest room.

The whole villa fell into silence.

She was not sleepy, but she kept thinking that, did she really have to be the mistress of this man wearing a fox mask?
