"He's so beautiful!" Cleo gushed to her as she described her encounter with Lord Caleb Valient and Lady Persephone Cristos.
Briar glanced over at Helios and her brother's eyes darted to her. There was a genuine look of horror and disbelief to slight fear until Helios smirked. He added a devilish wink at her. The little coward was going to leave her with her lovesick twin. Before she could grab him, he took a step away.
"Oh, look at that, I hear daddy dearest calling," Helios chuckled as Briar tried to once again grab at him. "I'm certain you two would just love to have fantastic reunion. It's been how long?"
Cleo frowned for a moment. "Goodness. It's been two years already." Her eyes widened as her gaze swung to Briar. "I can't believe it's been that long."
"I had-hadn't s-seen H-H-Helios for th-three," Briar huffed out, tossing a warning look at Helios.
