After the Christams celebrations, it was crunching time for final exams. The three–day finals flew by.

As Zinnia packed up her textbooks, her classmates waved and called out, “See you next semester, Zinnia” Her classmates waved goodbye to her as they left the classroom.

Zinnia smiled brightly and waved back. “See you next semester, everyone.” Before they knew it, the whole semester had flown by.

Maisie walked up to Zinnia and said, “Zinnia, come home and stay for a couple of days. Mom and Dad miss

you.”

Zinnia hadn’t been back to the Jenkins residence for a while, as she’d been keeping an eye out for those lurking in the shadows. While Maisie still saw Zinnia at school every day, her parents and Raymond missed her terribly since they hadn’t seen her.

“Then I’ll text Yannis,” Zinnia said. Everyone still thought Zinnia was living with Yannis. Since they both resided in Cloud Harbor, it was easier for them to cover for each other.

While she claimed to be texting Yannis, Zinnia was actually messaging Nathan. It took a couple of minutes for Nathan to reply. He agreed and told her to enjoy herself. Once she was back, they’d return to the small town together.

Zinnia simply texted back. “Let’s go home now,” Zinnia said cheerfully as she linked arms with Maisie.

“Zinnia, why haven’t you been hanging out lately?” Ethan called out. He hurriedly stuffed his books into his backpack and turned to Zinnia.

“Is something wrong?” Lydia asked, her face filled with concern.

Ethan added, “Zinnia, is something wrong? If there is, you have to tell us. We’ll help however we can.”

Brian remained silent. His brother worked in the intelligence department, so he knew bits and pieces about the situation. He couldn’t fathom why foreign operatives were targeting Zinnia.

Zinnia smiled softly. “Just dealing with some stuff lately, but it’s nothing serious. Can’t hang out for now, but once things settle down, let’s all go out together.”
