“Don’t stay up too late tonight, you two. Get some sleep early. I’ll drive you to school in the morning,” Yannis said, handing Maisie the toiletries he’d just bought.

“Got it, Yannis,” Maisie replied obediently.

“Zinnia,” Yannis then said to Zinnia.

“Yes?” Zinnia turned to look at him.

“Here you go,” Yannis said, handing her a pink paper bag. She noticed it looked a lot like the one he’d given her last time. “It’s a cake–to celebrate your gaining a new family member,” he said with a warm smile.

“Thank you,” Zinnia said, pausing briefly when she heard it was a cake, but she didn’t refuse. She thought, ‘I can give it to Maisie later. Besides, today really does feel like a day worth celebrating–and Yannis’s thoughtful gift is just perfect.

“Alright, call me if you need anything,” Yannis said, giving them one last look as the elevator doors began to close.

“Zinnia, it’s girls‘ night.” Maisie cheered as she pushed open the door. Her eyes lit up in the warm, cozy room -she was truly happy for Zinnia. Thank goodness Jackson and the others treated Zinnia so well now, or Maisie would feel so sad for her.

“Okay,” Zinnia replied, a shy smile tugging at the corners of her lips–she’d never had a sleepover with a close friend before.

“Zinnia, come on! Let’s try this cake from Sugar Rush. It’s delicious, you have to order it days in advance. I can’t believe the stone–faced Yannis actually bought you one!

“Just picture that a tough guy carrying an adorable pink bag into a cute bakery. It’s hilarious!”

Maisie, not treating herself as an outsider at all, tugged Zinnia down beside her on the sofa, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she stared at the little cake in Zinnia’s hands.

“Do you like it? It’s all yours–no need to share,” Zinnia said, as she took the cake out of the bag. It was a chocolate cake, encircled with strawberries and topped with a tiny flower.


The deep, velvety aroma of chocolate was mouthwatering. Zinnia stared at it longingly, and thought wistfully. ‘It smells so good and looks so delicious. What a pity I can’t eat it,‘

“Zinnia, aren’t you going to have some?” Maisie asked, placing the cake in front of her and handing her a fork.

“I can’t eat cream,” Zinnia said, shaking her head. “I’m allergic to it.”

“Oh no. You’re allergic to cream? Doesn’t that mean you can’t even have a birthday cake? What a shame. You’re missing out on so many delicious treats,” Maisie exclaimed, genuinely surprised and a little disappointed.

“That’s just how it is,” Zinnia sighed, disappointed, too.

“Zinnia, let me scoop out just the sponge part for you–we’ll avoid the cream,” Maisie said, her heart softening at Zinnia’s longing gaze. Maisie stared at the small cake in her hand as if she could see the fluffy sponge core inside.

“Really? Can we do that?” Zinnia looked up at her with hopeful eyes. She’d never thought of eating cake this way before. ‘I can’t have cream, but the sponge part should be fine, right?‘

The cake looked incredibly soft and fluffy, layered with cookie crumbs and oozing with rich chocolate sauce. The more she looked, the more irresistible it became.

“I’m not sure if this will work, but let’s give it a shot,” Maisie said. “We’ll just try a tiny bit first and see if you react. I don’t know if the cream might’ve soaked into the cake sponge.


“If you can’t even eat the sponge, that would be awful.” Maisie wasn’t sure if just the sponge would be safe for someone allergic to cream, but figured it should be fine as long as it didn’t touch any cream.
