“I didn’t expect you to know how to cook,” Zinnia said hesitantly, trying to find a topic to break the silence.

Yannis chuckled lightly. “Had no choice. James shipped me overseas, and the food there was awful. So, he had to learn to cook. Turns out, it wasn’t all bad after all.”

“What’s the good part?” Zinnia asked, tilting her head curiously.

“I get to cook for you, Zinnia. At least this way, you won’t have to live off takeout,” Yannis teased, his deep, magnetic voice carrying a playful warmth.

Zinnia glanced at him, her heart skipping a beat. It was obviously a joke, but the way he said it made her wonder if he was

serious.

“You’re really good at this. I can’t cook at all,” Zinnia admitted. “My master never let me near the kitchen. He said the smoke and grease were bad for a girl’s skin.”

Yannis leaned back lazily. “You’re a girl, Zinnia. It’s totally fine if you don’t cook. But for us guys, if we can’t cook, we might end up single forever.”

Zinnia looked up at him. “But… if this is the food you’re saving for your future wife, isn’t it wrong for me to eat it now?”

“Getting a wife is a problem for future. For now, I’ll cook for you.”

Yannis chuckled at her earnest question. Her serious little face was so adorable that he couldn’t help but laugh softly, his eye: curving into a joyful arc. She really was a little ray of sunshine.

Zinnia watched him laugh, her brows furrowing slightly in confusion. She couldn’t quite understand what he found so funny, but she noticed he seemed to smile a lot.

“You’re not eating?” Zinnia asked, glancing at his plate. He’d barely touched his food, almost as if the meal had been made just for her.

“I don’t have much of an appetite. But seeing you enjoy it so much makes me feel full too. Go ahead, eat my share, Yannis said with a teasing smile.

Yannis had barely eaten. He wasn’t hungry, having been swamped with work the past few days. His insomnia had returned, and the herbal sachet she’d given him last time had been left at home when he changed clothes.
