Callum chuckled, a warm and approachable aura around him as he casually lifted his hand and ruffled Thalassa’s hair gently. His voice was soft and soothing, “Silly girl, no need to apologize. It’s not your fault, and I’ve never blamed you. I only blame myself for not being sharp enough to evade Lysander’s quick pursuit.”

Thalassa blinked in surprise. Callum had just tousled her hair!

This was just Callum being Callum, showing the same gentle affection not only to her but to everyone by playfully ruffling their hair.

Seeing his easygoing demeanor, Thalassa blinked away the shock in her eyes, trying to regain her composure.

embarrassed.
