“So, Yannis, James really loves you. Don’t blame yourself, okay?” Zinnia felt the wetness dripping onto her hand, like a burn from fire. Her fingers trembled and her heart squeezed tight.

She wrapped her arm around Yannis’s shoulder, holding him close and patting his back gently.

Yannis didn’t speak. He just leaned against her, his dark eyes damp and hollow.

Zinnia knew he needed time to accept and heal.

She lowered her eyes, looking at his red–rimmed eyes. Strangely, she felt little sympathy. Instead, she thought he looked gorgeous when he cried.

His misty eyes made him seem pitiful, like the little white rabbit she’d raised as a kid. When it lost a fight with other bunnies, it would come to her with red eyes, seeking comfort. Zinnia would hug it, kiss it, and coo at it.

She blinked, her fingers unconsciously brushing his eyelid. It was scalding hot, maybe swollen from the tears.

Her tentative touch made Yannis’s long lashes flutter, still dotted with glistening tears.

He looked up at her, confused. ‘What is she up to now? Staring at my eyes again?‘

“Yannis, you look so gorgeous when you cry,” Zinnia said earnestly.

Sure enough, a pretty face made even crying look stunning.

His chest tightened, the ache stifled by her words.

“Can I… take a photo?” Zinnia reached for her phone.

Yannis grabbed her hand, his face darkening with irritation. He thought, ‘She is always pulling these crazy stunts. Who would compliment someone on their crying and then try to take a photo?‘

“No photos. If you do, I’m ignoring you,” he said.

“Yannis, you’re so childish, threatening me like a grade–schooler,” Zinnia sighed, giving up.
