Lemira paused, her voice polite yet distant, “Lucian, Caspian, Alaric.” If she didn’t call out to them, they’d probably accuse her of sulking and being rude again.

“With so much time left, I’ll give it my all.” Orion’s gaze settled on her, eventually lowering as he spoke in a cool tone, “Don’t ask such simple questions in the future!” Lemira chuckled.

When Lemira thought she couldn’t take it anymore, Evelina finally showed up, panting and apologetic, “I’m so sorry, I got caught up planning the game with Ari and the crew, totally lost track of time.” Caspian, ever so cool, replied, “No worries, you’re pitching in for the family.

“Listen up, I’ll only say this once.” Orion grabbed the pen, scribbling on a piece of scrap paper while solving problems. Lemira froze, her gaze fixed on the man in front of her, her emotions suddenly a whirlwind of complexity.

When Lemira heard “us all together,” she couldn’t help but scoff at the absurdity of the notion. It was a sentiment she had harbored in her previous life as well.
