As soon as Zinnia spotted Lily, her face lit up with joy. "Lily!" she exclaimed, her voice full of excitement. Without hesitation, she ran toward her friend, her arms outstretched.
Lily barely had time to react before Zinnia threw her arms around her, hugging her tightly. "I'm so happy you're here!" Zinnia said, her voice muffled against Lily's shoulder.
Lily laughed, her arms wrapping around Zinnia in return. "Of course, I'm here! You asked me to come, didn't you?"
Zinnia pulled back, her eyes sparkling. "Still, it means so much to me. I was so nervous about picking a dress, but now that you're here, I feel so much better."
Timmy stood off to the side, watching the interaction with wide eyes. He had never seen Zinnia so animated.
