"What are you smiling at?" Hazel's grandmother teased her as she was making lunch.

"Nothing." Hazel put her phone away.

"I bet she's texting that boy," her grandmother looked at Hazel's grandfather, wiggling her eyebrows.

"What boy?" her grandfather asked, confused.

"The boy from the cemetery, god, Richard, you're hopeless," she shook her head in disbelief.

"It's no one... but I'm going out later and I might come home a little later than usual," Hazel said, before leaving the kitchen so that they couldn't ask further questions.

"It's definitely a date," Hazel's grandmother whispered to Richard.

"With the boy?" He asked, still confused.

"Yes, Richard," Marie rolled her eyes, finding her husband useless to talk to.

Mason
I'm outside!

Hazel
Stay in the car, I'll
be right there!

Hazel quickly put on a thin jacket that matched her outfit; she grabbed her bag and sprinted down the stairs.

"Is he here?" Marie asked her granddaughter

"You don't even know who I'm going with," Hazel looked at her.

"That car is very nice," Richard said as he was secretly looking behind the curtains.

"Grandpa stop," Hazel dragged him away; this was exactly why she had told Mason to stay in the car. Her grandparents would embarrass her.

"Don't wait up for me, ok? I have my keys," she told them as she put her shoes on.

"Just be careful, darling, you know how London is at night," her grandmother told her.

"I know; don't worry." Hazel hugged her and her grandfather.

"Have fun!" They told her before she left and shut the door. She walked towards Mason, who was still sitting in his car, scrolling through his phone to make time go faster.
