“Where are we going, Nathan?” Zinnia asked.

Zinnia changed into a simple, unadorned outfit–a white blouse with a black skirt. Her long, soft hair was pulled up into a neat bun, giving her a quiet, graceful look befitting the occasion.

Nathan also changed into a simple outfit–a white shirt and black slacks. In his hands, he carried two bouquets. One was roses, and the other was jasmine.

Nathan handed Zinnia one of the rose bouquets. “We’re going to visit two people.”

Since Zinnia and Nathan were heading out alone, Jackson and the others didn’t feel it was appropriate to tag along. “Be careful on the road, and give us a call if you need anything,” Jackson reminded them.

“Go ahead,” said Yannis.

“Are we going up the mountain, Nathan?” Zinnia asked.

Zinnia and Nathan left the courtyard, following a narrow path up the mountainside behind the house. This whole mountain belonged to just the two of them.

“Yes,” Nathan murmured, walking ahead with Zinnia following behind.

The narrow path was steep, paved with flagstones still slick from last night’s rain. Zinnia and Nathan walked cautiously, watching their steps.

“Need me to hold your hand, Zinnia?” Nathan stopped in his tracks and reached back toward her.

Zinnia shook her head. “I’m fine, Nathan.”

Nathan lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with gentle mockery. “What, Zinnia? Are you saying I can’t even hold your hand anymore?”

Zinnia shook her head. “No, it’s not that, Nathan. It’s just slippery. I’m worried that if I lose my footing, I might end up pulling you down with me.”

The path was barely wide enough for one person, still slick from last night’s rain. Zinnia hesitated, afraid she might lose her balance and take Nathan down with her.

Seeing the calm, downcast expression on Nathan’s face, Zinnia gently placed her hand in his and said softly, “Let’s walk slowly. I don’t want us to fall.”
