Anna heard what Mae said, and it didn’t take a genius to figure out what she meant. Like many at Kallisti, Anna knew Nox had been Atharim, and maybe still was? Anna didn’t know for sure, but she knew he took his duty really seriously. And Elyse’s father, well if he was willing to kill his own daughter, the rest of them weren’t far behind. Anna knew she couldn’t do what Nox was going to do. It wasn’t in her wheelhouse. She had an admiration of him, and a fear too. She thought of Cade and what Cade would think if she found out.
Thoughts of Cade brought Anna back to reality, and a knock at the door took away her distraction from the moment. Elyse let in two bouncers who proceeded to take care of taking boxes down to a vehicle. It was an amazing thing. The entire Kallisti family was backing up their sister in time of need. Anna was glad to be part of it. Anna finished the dishes and moved to tape the box up. She found herself next to Mae, a woman she hadn’t really talked to much.
”Thanks,” Anna said to her genuinely. ”Shes calmed down a lot since earlier today. She’s a great person, and meeting her today has encouraged me to get to know the rest of you better. Sorry if I’ve been distant. I’m gonna do better.”
Anna stood to place the box next to the door, but one of the men came back up and grabbed it from her hands to take it down. They had an efficient operation going on here.
