Chapter 17

At the breakfast table, Calliope glanced at Silas, words hanging on the tip of her tongue.

"If you've got something to say, just say it. I don't bite," Silas remarked, his eyes lifting slightly with a hint of mischief. "Treat me like you would anyone else."

"It's not that I'm afraid of you..." Calliope raised her head. "It's just- I'm not quite used to it yet."

"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.

He would help her adjust. Slowly but surely, she would come to know him better. This time, he wouldn't let her slip away.
