Zinnia asked, “Nathan, why are you cooking again? We still have plenty of food.” After finishing her homework, she came out of her room and found Nathan cooking again.

Zinnia thought, ‘We already made so many dishes for lunch. Even after Quincey took away the fried food, there’s still plenty left. More than enough for just the two of us.‘

“We’re having guests over tonight,” Nathan said gently. They planned to have chili con carne for dinner since Zinnia had mentioned craving it at lunch.

“Guests? Who could it be? We don’t know many people in Jinston, do we?” Zinnia asked, looking puzzled.

Zinnia thought, ‘In Jinston, apart from my grandparents and parents, we barely know anyone. Besides, only Yannis and Jackson know Nathan is back. It’s rare for anyone to visit us here!

“Take a guess?” Nathan asked with a warm smile.

“Could it be Yannis and Jackson?” Zinnia guessed, her voice tinged with curiosity.

Nathan smiled, “Zinnia, why do you call them like this?” Nathan looked puzzled.

Zinnia hesitated, unsure how to explain. After getting drunk, Yannis threw a tantrum and insisted that Zinnia change how she called him. She continued to call him that way and eventually got used to it.

Zinnia shrugged and said, “It’s just easier this way. Three in the Lynn family and one in the Perkins family. So I call them this way to keep things simple.”

Nathan didn’t press further.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it!” Zinnia called out, dashing toward the door. Nathan shook his head with an amused smile.

Zinnia flung the door open with a bright smile. “Welcome!”

Yannis and Jackson arrived, their arms full of gifts. They’d both been busy over the past few days. It was their first visit since Zinnia and Nathan moved in.

“Zinnia.” When they saw Zinnia standing before them, Yannis and Jackson both smiled.
