Zinnia waved goodbye to them, her small backpack slung over her shoulder as she made her way to Cloud Harbor.

“Just got out of school?” Yannis’s lazy smile deepened as his eyes curved slightly.

“Yeah,” Jackson confirmed.

Before she could say anything, Yannis’s next move silenced her. He held out a pink gift bag in front of her.
