After class, Zinnia went to the restroom. Anne followed right behind her. Just as Zinnia reached the sink to wash her hands, she heard, “Zinnia.” Turning around, she saw Anne.

Zinnia washed her hands and held them under the dryer. “What do you want?” she asked slowly. She had felt someone watching her during class. It had to be Anne.

Zinnia thought, ‘She’s obviously here for me. Is she here to help Betty bother me? If she really wants to do what Betty asks, I won’t just stay quiet.’

Anne looked at Zinnia’s guarded face, a quick flash of bitterness crossing her face. She said, “Thank you, Zinnia.”

“What?” Zinnia was confused.

Zinnia thought, ‘She knows I was the one who saved her? She was unconscious, not dead–maybe she could still hear. But surely she couldn’t have heard me mumbling, could she?‘

“I know it was you who saved me,” Anne said, confirming Zinnia’s guess. While she was out cold, she heard Zinnia talking by her ear, the last person she’d expected.

Anne felt overwhelmed by Betty’s betrayal. She had given her whole heart to Betty, only to be slapped and pushed down the stairs. That moment wiped out any feelings she still had for Betty.

By helping Betty this once, she returned the favor of the ointment. But being friends again was impossible.

“It was my brother, Charlie, who did your surgery,” Zinnia said calmly, her voice flat and emotionless.

“I sent gifts to your family, and I’ll always be thankful,” Anne said sincerely. “If you ever need anything, just ask. My family will help you right away.”

“Okay,” Zinnia replied. She didn’t plan to tell Anne, but since Anne already knew, she saw no reason to refuse something that clearly benefited her.
