Nathan had disappeared six months earlier, leaving Fiona clueless about his whereabouts. He’d always been shrouded in mystery

She knew Nathan’s identity was far from ordinary. The small town was never meant to be a permanent home for Zinnia and Nathan. They were bound to leave eventually.

With everyone back home and having built a solid foundation for herself, Fiona longed to return and be by

Fiona, there’s no need to rush back. Focus on your law firm first. I’m in 12th grade now, and who knows where I’ll end up after this,” Zinnia said, glancing toward Nathan.

Their future was still up in the air. No one could say whether they’d stay in Jinston or end up somewhere else. Even Zinnia herself wasn’t sure if she’d remain in Jinston in the end.

If something really happened to Nathan, she couldn’t begin to imagine what her life would become.
