The holiday flew by, and before she knew it, Zinnia was down to her last day off. Apart from occasionally visiting Lydia to check on Bonnie’s condition, she rarely went out during the day.

Maybe something about what happened with Nathan got to her–Zinnia, who’d never cared much about her grades before, suddenly started working hard. She even asked Yannis to help her find a tutor.

It wasn’t until Sofia’s seventy–second birthday that Zinnia finally stopped studying. The Lynn family reserved a restaurant to celebrate, and Zinnia was heading out to join them for dinner.

As Zinnia stepped out of the residential arca, Yannis called her, “Zinnia, do you want me to come get you?”

“No need, Yannis. The restaurant isn’t far–I’ll just grab a ride,” Zinnia said, walking as she booked a car on her phone.

“Alright then, be safe on the way. Call me when you arrive and I’ll have someone meet you,” Yannis said. He was still at the office, swamped with work, and would be heading over later.

“Okay,” Zinnia hung up as her ride pulled up. She got in, knowing Yannis would be heading over soon as well

Sofia kept her birthday celebration low–key. At her age, she preferred not to make a big fuss, so the Lynn family just gathered for a lively, cozy meal together.

Since Zinnia had been staying with Yannis lately, Sofia invited him as well.

The car ride took about twenty minutes before Zinnia arrived at the restaurant, where Jackson had reserved a private dining area on the top floor. As Zinnia stepped out of the car, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“My mom’s up there. What gives you the right to stop me?” Maelis’s furious, almost mad voice rang through the lobby.
