Atticus Sinclair thought his mom was just being sweet, so he happily made his way over to Thalassa.

Thalassa grabbed his hand, pulling him close to her and Lysander, and with a cool tone, she said to Callum, "Mr. Gordon, regardless, thanks for sticking up for me earlier." With that, she was ready to leave with Atticus in tow.

Atticus, though young, could tell there was some tension between his mom and Callum.

Thalassa paused, her posture stiffening, but she didn't turn around.

Atticus felt Thalassa's grip on his hand tighten. He looked up at her, noticing her furrowed brows and serious expression.

Weren't his mom and Callum good friends? Why did it seem like they were almost strangers now?

As Atticus was lost in thought, Lysander's deep, magnetic voice broke the silence, "We'll wait for you in the car."
