Calliope was used to the Jewell family's antics, but Ulysses' words still shocked her.

"Why should I care about her?" she asked incredulously. "I barely know her, and it's not like she's ever done anything nice for me."

Ulysses glared at her, muttering something under his breath that was too quiet to catch.
