Things seemed to happen in a flurry before she could even open her mouth to agree with Sisse that a second cup sounded wonderful; Millie came over in a flurry and couldn’t seem to sit still which only meant she was dying to say something. The fact that her cousin wouldn’t meet her gaze only confirmed her suspicions. If they weren’t surrounded by family (and friends) she might have tried to get her to squeal, but instead she allowed her lips to curl into a smile.
“Merry Christmas Mills.” Zin glanced at her cousin before adding, “Don’t burn your tongue.” Because now she was dying to know what Millie had heard and from who. Her eyes rested on Dahlia who was coming over with Mr. Honeyduke and her smile brightened. Was this finally it? Was this what her cousin knew? Zinnia had known before any of them that this was coming. Her sister was absolutely beaming and she swallowed a squeal herself.
Instead she shot to her feet before she smoothed out her dress. Zin eyed her sister, I told you so somewhere in her expression, before she turned her full attention to the man in front of her. She opened her mouth to greet him when her youngest sister came bursting in, and Zinnia couldn’t help but giggle because the chaos that came with the Potts family was her personal favorite - there never seemed to be a dull moment amongst them. She turned toward Calla and grinned at her; Sisse seemed like a nice enough person and she was glad to see that her sister had someone she was close with.
“Well, it’s only natural that the man who made the divine cocoa that’s been the talk of the evening show up.” Zin took a small step back. “I’m glad you could come tonight.” She turned her attention back toward Dally and cocked her head to the side; she didn’t want to spill her secret (or at least the one that she thought had happened? Maybe she was just excited the man was here after worrying he wouldn't show), but at the same time she was dying to talk to her.
