Unbeknownst to them, Sage hadn't been deeply asleep. He had actually awakened the moment Timothy took him from Mia's arms.

However, he had apprehensions about the situation becoming awkward if he were to wake up in Timothy's embrace.

Timothy's footsteps came to a halt at Mia's words. "She was speaking the truth," he conceded.
