Olivia and Zane made small talk over the meal they ordered. At first Olivia wanted to leave quickly, but the more they spoke, the less she wanted to leave. At some point, the question about why she was wearing flats came up and she was surprised that Zane had even noticed. She told him about her ankle, and the man shook his head.
Olivia did not know, but Zane hated to hear the mention of Mary, because she was the woman who almost caused Mina to die from abuse. The only reason he had not retaliated against the woman on his own accord was because Ian played a role in her behavior. Still, he could not hide his irritation.
"You like Mina, don't you?" Zane was startled by the question, but it was expected. He kept mentioning Mina's name and it was not on purpose.
"To say that I don't wouldn't be accurate." Zane settled on that response to avoid the confusion a genuine answer could cause.
