Instinctively, Calliope stepped in front of Silas, shielding him. Her eyes were sharp and wary as she glared at Oliver. "I told you before, Silas isn't going back with you. And I'm not divorcing him, so stop dreaming!"

"Daydreaming all the time isn't good for you," she added with a scoff.

His tone was cold and commanding, making it clear he wasn't pleased to see Oliver in their room.

"I'm not leaving," Oliver said, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "We need to have a real talk."

"There's nothing for us to discuss," Silas said, his eyes narrowing, his voice now edged with hostility. "I'm not causing you any trouble, so you'd better behave yourself."
