The little munchkins hurled themselves into Thalassa’s embrace, their cuddly little bodies melting into her arms.
She nuzzled them affectionately with her cheek, her voice tender and soothing.
“Mommy’s here, sweethearts. Don’t worry, no more tears.” Thalassa’s voice hitched, her eyes brimming with

“Didn’t Daddy bring me back? You’ve got to believe, your dad is like a superhero-there’s nothing he can’t do,”

All her excitement, in that one second of eye contact with Lysander, got stuck in her throat.
Taking a deep breath, she pushed the excitement back down.
She couldn’t say it, not with Lysander there. What if he heard and stopped Atticus from helping?
