"Our relationship with Grandpa was never great. Honestly, it's not weird that he left everything to you. It makes sense."

"I don't think Grandpa did anything wrong. And I don't think you did, either. He gave it to you, so it's yours. I think he really saw you as his granddaughter, for real."

Ulysses looked at Calliope.

"I know you're mad at the whole family. I'm not here for forgiveness. I just want you to know where I stand. I'm on your side."

"Really, you don't have to worry. I'm always with you. I'll try to talk to the family, too. I won't let them drag your name through the mud."

Ulysses gazed at Calliope for a long moment.

Calliope shot him an indifferent look and said, "You done? If you are, I'm leaving. Don't bother me again."

"Yeah."
