Xyla spoke instead. “Zephyr, why don’t you take a walk with Cordelia? Or… you both might as well have dinner outside!”

Cordelia wore her shoes and hurried downstairs. Zephyr did not even get to bid goodbye to Xyla as he hurried to follow her.

Cordelia walked along the street, and he tailed her. They kept a decent distance from each other. Their shadows on the ground were elongated due to the sunset, and Zephyr gradually walked into Cordelia’s shadow.
