As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed in, warm golden light spilled across the bed. A small, sleepy figure curled up under the covers.

Soon, a head with a wild mess of hair popped out–Zinnia lay with her cheek pressed against the pillow, eyes slowly opening as she stared blankly out the window, lost in thought.

In the morning, Zinnia usually took a moment to collect herself. Finally on holiday and free from the rush to school, she eased into her day before getting up to wash up.

Today, she planned to visit the house her Master had given her–the Moore manor. She hadn’t had much free time lately, but with the long holiday, she finally had time to take a proper look around.

After washing up, she stepped out to find Yannis had already left for work. On the round table was an insulated food container with breakfast he’d asked someone to deliver.

She noticed a note with bold, elegant handwriting that carried a distinct sharpness. Picking it up, she read, [Eat before you go out. Call if you need me.]

By around nine o’clock, Zinnia opened the food container and sat down for a leisurely breakfast–pumpkin soup, pancakes, and ham omelets, all crafted by a highly paid chef.

Everything was delicious. After breakfast, she loaded the dishes into the dishwasher, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door.

Yannis’s health is slowly improving–he should be more or less back to normal in just over a month. She started thinking about moving out. She thought, ‘I can’t keep imposing on him like this.

Zinnia had already looked up the location of the Moore manor. After leaving her apartment complex, she hailed a taxi directly to the manor.

Perched halfway up the mountainside and boasting a prime location, the majestic estate rose into view as she gazed at it from a distance.

The taxi could go no further up the mountain, as access was restricted beyond a certain point. Zinnia paid the fare and got out. The Moore manor occupied nearly half the mountainside.
