Chapter 21 Zoe Is Zee?

• Zavion POV
• It’s been half an hour since Zoe left, and I already feel her absence weighing on me, so I decided to step into her room one last time before finally shutting the door for good. As I walked over to her bed, I caught a whiff of her familiar scent lingering in the air, a reminder of her presence that made my heart ache. Ethan hasn’t said a word to me since last night’s chaos, and I felt frustrated. I picked up her pillow, inhaling deeply, when I noticed a locket tucked away beneath it. It looked eerily similar to mine, and as I tried to open it, I noticed an inscription that read, "Z loves Zee." My mind raced—could it be that Zoe was Zee all along? She had been living in this house for a month, and I was completely oblivious!
• The pieces started to fall into place: the chocolates, the humming, but if she was Zee, why didn’t she remember me? I rushed to my room, using my key to unlock a box where I kept our childhood photo. It was the same picture of us from that day at the market when we decided to hide from Mom and ended up asking a stranger to capture our moment. Suddenly, everything clicked—Zoe was Zee. I called out to Izzy, showing her the locket, and she confirmed it was indeed Zoe’s childhood picture. Who would have thought that both Ian and I had feelings for the same girl all this time? I immediately grabbed my phone to call her, but she didn’t answer, and I had no idea where she was staying.
