The hospital wasn’t far from Cloud Harbor, but weekend traffic jammed every road. By the time they finally made it back, Zinnia drifted asleep, her head resting on Yannis‘ shoulder.

Yannis was working on his laptop when he felt a gentle weight settle on his shoulder. His fingers paused over the keyboard and he glanced down at her peaceful face.

Yannis carefully moved the laptop aside and took the half–finished orange juice from her loose grasp. Exhaustion lined her face–she frowned even in sleep. And her favorite drink was left unfinished.

Yannis drained the cup. Too sweet, but drinkable.

He then touched her hand. It felt a little cold. He tucked his suit jacket around her. “Turn up the heat,” he told the driver.

A faint minty fragrance drifted to Zinnia’s nose, and the furrow between her tightly knit brows unconsciously eased a little.

Yannis‘ long, elegant fingers lightly brushed her forehead. He murmured, “Sleep well. When you wake up, everything will be fine.”

“The Shaw family will never get another chance to hurt you. The Shaw family and Maelis, I’ll make them pay,‘ he swore.

Perhaps it was his promise–Zinnia’s brow smoothed completely.

Yannis carefully applied more ointment to her cheek. Only a faint pink mark remained where the slap had landed. But the slap hadn’t just landed on her face; it had wounded everyone who cared for her.

When they reached the garage, the driver opened their door. Zinnia was still deeply asleep. Yannis bent down and scooped her up, her small body curling into a little bundle in his arms.

He frowned and thought, ‘She’s still so light. I really need to fatten her up.
