55 Sharing secrets over toast

"And Lia has brought some new clothes for you. They're in her room," he added.

Ziana smiled and nodded, grateful that Yael considered even the smallest details, always putting himself in others' shoes and making them feel comfortable. It was a stark contrast to someone like Zayden, who found joy in being sarcastic and rude.
