Zinnia nodded in agreement. It would be nice to have Calla permanently home soon, and maybe the shop would be a little less lonely; she could only wonder what her sister would do — work in the shop? Find a job elsewhere? Or, the least likely, although still plausible, focus on being a debutante. At least she truly hadn’t lost Thistle or Dahlia just yet, even if Dahlia would be moving in with Quin after the wedding. Everything was changing so quickly.

“Well, I’ll visit as much as I can.” Zin did like London. It was a lot more hustle and bustle than Hogsmeade, but it wasn’t a bad thing. “How are things here? I worry about you here all by yourself.” Just like the rest of the family, but it wasn’t like they could talk Daff out of living here, especially now that she had her own shop to look after.
