The quiet room was soon filled with only Yannis’s deep, magnetic voice. Zinnia muted her video, letting his words fill the silence.

‘His voice is amazing. If he were a voice actor, fans would go crazy for him, and I’d probably blow all my savings to support him,‘ Zinnia thought. His soothing tone lulled her, and before she knew it, she drifted off.

Yannis heard the guy in his headphones asking what design he wanted for the tracker. Unconsciously, his gaze drifted backward.

It landed on Zinnia, head tilted as she slept on the pillow. The warmth in his eyes softened to tenderness. “A penguin,” he said softly.

“A penguin?” The caller echoed in surprise. They’d expected something conventional, not a cute animal.

“Yeah,” Yannis answered. He looked at Zinnia, his usual aloofness melting into something soft. He remembered their first meeting–she’d been like a shy little penguin, only speaking up when nudged.

“What about the name?” the caller asked, sensing Yannis‘ decision was final.

“Z.”

“Z? Just the letter? What’s the meaning?” The caller was baffled by such a blunt choice.

Yannis smiled faintly, “Take a guess.”

The caller fell silent, feeling quite helpless.

“Talk tomorrow,” Yannis said and hung up curtly after finding it was nearly midnight. He removed the headphones and walked to the bed.

Zinnia lay on her stomach, head turned toward him. Half her face was buried in the blanket, while her warm breath left a rosy flush on her cheeks.

The tablet was half–swallowed by the plush blanket. As Yannis approached, he realized the video had gone silent.
