The night before Zinnia's incident, she was at home, waiting for Samuel to return. With each passing minute, her anxiety grew. She paced back and forth in the living room, glancing out the window every few moments, hoping to see Samuel's car pull up. Her nerves were on edge, and her thoughts raced wildly.
Zinnia knew she had to find the courage to tell Samuel the truth about James. She needed to be honest, even if the future seemed uncertain.
The thought of Samuel's reaction scared her.
She couldn't predict how he would respond to the truth. Would he be angry? Hurt? Would this be the end of their fragile relationship? These questions swirled in her mind, making her even more anxious.
Unable to wait any longer, she grabbed her phone and sent him a message. "Samuel, I have something to tell you. I'll wait for you at home."
