Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

She would never do it, and she would never subject her son to such scrutiny and lies. Apollo must be kept a secret from Ethan, at least for now. A moment of pondering later, she called Ethan.

Apollo watched his mother put on that show, then he looked at Ethan with scrutiny and realization. She knows that man, and they’re close. Or at least they share something special.
