Chapter 39

Valerian wanted to make his way over to Calliope, but she and Norton were already surrounded by a lively crowd.

Norton had snagged first place and handed his prize right over to Calliope. Her beautiful face lit up with a smile that radiated pure happiness.

Norton's friends were all singing Calliope's praises, and even those who didn't know her well were caught up in her infectious spirit.
