Yannis thought helplessly, ‘She never fails to surprise me. I’m still alive and kicking, and she’s already making plans for my ribs.’

Facing those honest, expectant eyes, he could only sigh in resignation and thought, ‘First it was my eyes, now she’s after my ribs? Honestly, there seem to be quite a few things about me that catch her fancy.

“Alright then,” Yannis chuckled, a smile reaching his eyes. “If I ever kick the bucket, I’ll leave everything to you in my will, including my fortune and even my body.”

Zinnia blinked and said, “Once I get you back in shape, you’ll easily live to eighty. Honestly, I probably won’t get to inherit anything from you. Who knows? You might even outlive me.

“But if anything should happen to you, I might get to extract one of your ribs. Then I could keep it as a specimen.”

Yannis thought wryly, ‘She is completely oblivious to common sense. She turns down the inheritance, yet all she ever wants is my ribs.

Yannis was at a loss for words.

Yannis mused, “To a doctor like her, money holds no appeal. She’s only ever obsessed with collecting human remains as anatomical specimens.‘

“I’m serious–you might outlive me,” Zinnia said. She didn’t care about his inheritance; all she wanted was the chance to get one of his ribs someday.

“Zinnia, you’ll live to be a hundred–outliving me for sure. Someone as wonderful as you are definitely destined for a long, blessed life,” Yannis said and frowned slightly.

Zinnia shook her head. She thought, ‘My body took a beating when I was a kid. I’m not built for a long life. If I’m lucky, I might make it to my sixties. If not, maybe just my thirties.

‘Honestly, I’ve probably lived half my life already. This body of mine is barely holding together as it is.

She knew her own condition all too well. Though her master had assured her she’d live to a ripe old age, deep down she knew better–chances were, she wouldn’t outlive Yannis.
