Yannis looked at his phone, his eyes fixed on Zinnia’s fingers as she played the zither. His pupils narrowed. “That technique is familiar.”

The next moment, Yannis called him and said, “Zinnia’s right here with us. Let her enjoy herself today. When she’s had her fun, we’ll find the right time to ask.” She seemed really happy.

Yannis scrolled through different video clips, carefully saving each one. Zinnia always kept her talents hidden. Grabbing his jacket, Yannis left the office and went straight to the underground parking lot.

Ethan said excitedly, “Zinnia, your zither playing is so good even with just an average zither. I can’t imagine how amazing it would sound if you played on a top–quality one. Who taught you?”

The group was ready to leave. Even though they had tried playing the zither before, seeing Zinnia perform made it clear she was on a whole new level.

“My master taught me,” Zinnia said happily, her face lighting up at the mention of him.

“Zinnia, you play the zither so well,” Ethan said. “When you’re free, I’d love to hear a solo from you.”

“Sure,” Zinnia agreed easily. “When I have free time, I’ll play for you guys. Chandler will send over my usual zither so I can play it. It’s got a better sound.”

“Great. We can’t wait!”

“Zinnia, what else can you play?” Brian asked curiously, thinking she might know more than just the zither.

“I can play a bit of piano, violin, guitar, flute, harmonica, and so on, though not as good as the zither,” Zinnia said, thinking of the many instruments at home. But out of all of them, she liked the zither most.

She loved the sound of plucked strings, so her master focused on teaching her the zither. When she had trouble with schoolwork, he helped her with her other talents instead.
