Natalia's grip on her phone tightened.

Before she could even speak, Alden's voice came through, carrying a heavy note of concern.

Natalia frowned as she listened. Sometimes, she wondered if this was Hamilton's way of playing the martyr.

She bit her lip, taking a moment before asking, "Is he at the apartment?"

Alden confirmed, "Yeah, at the apartment. Grandpa had him grounded at home until yesterday when he finally got out."

Natalia responded, "I'll head over in a bit."

"Alright."

Ending the call, Natalia took a moment to gather her thoughts before heading straight to the apartment.
