Chapter 17

"You'll get used to it in time," Silas assured her. "Let's have breakfast first. Afterward, I'll introduce you to a few people."

"Okay," Calliope mumbled, focusing on her breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup.

Silas watched her with a gentle patience, a slight smile playing on his lips.
