Zinnia pulled out her phone and tapped the first contact in WhatsApp–Yannis, of course. Since they’d just messaged a short while ago, his name was right at the top.

Zinnia hesitated as she tapped out a message to Yannis. She said: [Yannis, when are you coming home? There are two elderly gentlemen at the house right now.]

Zinnia had no idea when Yannis would be back. Their last message exchange was half an hour ago, and she still hadn’t gotten a reply. With the fruit washed and ready, she carried the bowl out to the living room.

As Zinnia emerged, James beckoned to her. He said, “Come here, sweetie, stop fussing around and sit with us. Let’s have a chat.”

Zinnia wasn’t really in the mood for small talk with them. Social situations like this always made her anxious, she’d never been good at dealing with elders.

Zinnia settled onto the small sofa beside them. Setting her phone aside, she completely missed the screen lighting up with a notification.

James looked at Zinnia and tried to soften his tone as he asked, “Sweetie, what’s your relationship with that brat?”

Zinnia wondered to herself, ‘That brat? Is he talking about Yannis?‘

“That’s Yannis,” James said, waving his hand with obvious disdain.

Zinnia explained, “Yannis is a friend of my brother, Jackson. I’m just crashing at his place for now because of some family issues.”

At the mention of Jackson, James immediately realized. He said, “Jackson? Sweetie, you must be the granddaughter Henry always talks about, right? What was your name again?”

James and Henry fought side by side back in the day. James had heard months ago that Henry’s family had found their long–lost granddaughter, but he’d never met Zinnia until now. He didn’t expect their first meeting to happen like this.
