A long bell rang inside the house, the sound echoing through the air, cutting through the tension in the room, causing everyone to pause in their actions.
Heiren and Zaque exchanged a look, a silent question passing between them.
Coco looked towards the source of the sound, the tension in her body evident as she tensed up. Quizen, too, looked up from Coco, his gaze darting towards the entryway.
Coco looked over at Zaque.
"That's probably Alithe and Sinclair." She said, her voice soft and tinged with anticipation.
The sound of the doorbell had caused Zaque to freeze momentarily, but at Coco's words, he nodded in agreement.
Zaque cleared his throat and spoke up, his tone firm and calm, his gaze still fixed on Coco before he turned and exited the kitchen. "I'll get it."
The sound of his footsteps echoed out as he made his way to the front door.
