Zachariah went down in the elevator. He got into the car, thumped the wheel and drove away.

It took Zachariah about half an hour to get to Cora’s place. The door was opened soon after he rang the doorbell. A figure threw itself into his arms before Zachariah carried it into the room.

Cora snuggled up to Zachariah and said injuredly, "Zach, I thought you would stand me up."

Zachariah just let Cora hold him, his body stiff.

Naturally, Cora could feel the stiffness of Zachariah’s body and looked up at him. "Zach, why are you so unhappy to see me?"

Zachariah twined his arms around Cora and comforted her. "Come on. If I was unhappy to see you, do you think I would have turned up here?"

Cora clung on to Zachariah and put on a vulnerable look. "Zach, don’t be mad at me for what I said on the phone just now, alright? You know, pregnant women tend to be sensitive. The doctor says it’s called antepartum depression. As long as you’re by my side more often, I’ll be happy and I won’t think too much."

Zachariah held Cora in his arms and replied, "Stop thinking too much then. I’ll try my best to spend more time with you in the future. Now go to bed."

Cora clutched Zachariah to her like a koala holding a tree. She looked up and said coquettishly, "Zach, I’m not sleepy yet. Let’s chat. It’s been a long time since we talked like this last time."
