Zinnia scheduled her meeting with Maclis for Saturday. As soon as she got home that evening, Zinnia told Yannis about it.

Donald was still missing. Though Yannis never said a word about it, Emily and his team shadowed Zinnia everywhere, never letting her out of sight. As long as Donald remained at large, he was a lurking threat.

Yannis accompanied Zinnia to meet Maelis.

A staff member greeted them. “Mr. Perkins, Ms. Moore.” Upon arriving at the prison, Zinnia and Yannis were met by a staff member who escorted them to the door of the supervision room.

“Maelis is inside,” the staff member said.

Zinnia stopped and turned to Yannis. “Yannis, let me go in by myself. You can wait for me out here, okay?” Maelis had specifically requested to see Zinnia alone. Yannis frowned, uneasy about Zinnia being alone with Maelis.

“Don’t worry, she’s not dangerous anymore. She won’t hurt me,” Zinnia said, her eyes crinkling as she gave Yannis’s sleeve a playful tug.

“I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need anything,” Yannis said, his heart melting at Zinnia’s gentle tug on his sleeve.

She knew exactly how to sway Yannis, without saying a word, just a playful tug on his sleeve, and he’d give her the world.

“Okay,” Zinnia said, handing him her scarf. Yannis draped the cream–colored scarf over his arm, watching intently as Zinnia entered, then peered through the window in the door.

The moment Zinnia stepped inside, her eyes instantly locked onto Maelis, who was sitting on a chair nearby.

For a moment, Zinnia barely recognized her. Maelis’s long hair had been chopped off into a blunt, ear–length bob, revealing a weathered face etched with wrinkles.
