Calliope glanced at Ulysses, sizing him up with a flicker of curiosity and suspicion. She wasn't sure what he was
after, but he definitely seemed different from before.
Silas, always the protective one, stepped a little closer to Calliope. He didn't say anything, but the frown on his
face and the tightness in his jaw spoke volumes. He didn't want this guy upsetting his wife.
Ulysses ignored Silas and everyone else, his gaze fixed on Calliope. He was waiting for her answer, nothing else.
After a moment, Calliope sighed and said, "Alright, you've got five minutes."
She turned to the others. "Go on up. I'll catch up with you after I talk to him."
Silas hesitated but nodded, ushering everyone else into the elevator. Once the doors slid shut and it was just the
two of them, Ulysses finally spoke.
“I'm sorry," he said quietly.
Calliope blinked, a little surprised. Apologies weren't exactly his style. Back when he used to make her life
miserable, he'd never once uttered those words.
But here he was, standing in front of her, sounding completely sincere.
She studied him for a second. "So that's it? You trackeddown just to say those words? Or is there something
you want from me?"

pulled. | can't believe I let her uselike that. I'm done being her pawn. I'm done letting anyone hurt you."
He shook his head, looking down at his shoes, guilt etched across his face. "I
didn't even realize how badly I'd treated you. Not until now."
He started rambling, admitting he'd only just woken up to how wrong he'd been, not just him, but his whole
family. Lisette had been playing them all for years especially Calliope. And none of them had noticed, as if the

Calliope listened to Ulysses’
confession, still not quite believing it.
"So you finally figyred {Oput And How

something? And if | say no, you're all

No matter how earnest Ulysses sounded now, she doubted it would stick. Maybe he'd even forget about this
conversation by tomorrow. Maybe this apology wasn't even real.
"That's not it!" Ulysses looked panicked. "Please, Callie, | know we hurt you. | know I did. But | swear, | know
what I did wrong now!"
