Callum chuckled, a warm and approachable aura around him as he casually lifted his hand and ruffled Thalassa’s hair gently. His voice was soft and soothing, “Silly girl, no need to apologize. It’s not your fault, and I’ve never blamed you. I only blame myself for not being sharp enough to evade Lysander’s quick pursuit.”

Thalassa blinked in surprise. Callum had just tousled her hair!

By the time she gathered her thoughts, his hand had already retreated, his face donning its usual smile as he continued to speak to her.

There was no hint of awkwardness or tension from the gesture, and it felt so natural that Thalassa questioned if she was reading too much into it.

Seeing his easygoing demeanor, Thalassa blinked away the shock in her eyes, trying to regain her composure.
