"I did see Gideon." Calliope grinned, her tone teasing. "Would you believeif I said it wasn't on purpose?" "Of course I'd believe you," Silas replied. "You probably had something else to do at the hospital, right? I just wanna know, did he try anything with you?" "Oh, and by the way, Yvette senta picture. That lunchbox wasn't yours, was it?" Silas knew Calliope too well. If she were really visiting someone in the hospital, she wouldn't show up with scrummy takeout box. She'd bring something fancy or thoughtful.

She made up sexcuse about needing the bathroom and then snapped a few photos while she was at it." "I noticed her taking them, by the way," Calliope added, her voice calm.

Even if, someday, you toldyou didn't loveanymore and you had feelings for someone else, I'd accept it. I just want you to be happy." Silas's words left Calliope speechless and deeply moved. After a few more minutes of chatting, Calliope asked, "Did Yvette say anything else to you?" She remembered how confident Yvette had seemed, like she was sure Silas would care about the situation. "She asked to meet up. Said she wanted to talk about what happened." Silas hesitated. "Should I go?" "Sure," Calliope said, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "She's probably got sother schher sleeve. You might as well hear her out, find out what she's planning, right?" Calliope found the whole thing amusing. She was honestly curious where Yvette's confidence cfrom? Was it pure arrogance, or did she have sace up her sleeve? "Alright, I'll do whatever you say. But you're coming with me, right?" Silas grinned.
"Me? You wantto tag along?" "Of course! Don't you want to see the show?" "Absolutely!" The two of them laughed darkly, both enjoying the .
