Atlas watched his children chat happily around the dining table while Lola listened. She hadn't noticed anything yet, and he thought that was for the best. Even so, his children were noticeably ignoring him or avoiding eye contact altogether.
"Right." Lola cleared her throat, shifting her gaze to Hugo, Kiara, and Allen. "Why did you guys look so panicked earlier?"
"Huh?" The trio snapped out of their thoughts, tearing their eyes away from the twins and turning to Lola.
Lola tilted her head slightly. "I thought something happened," she hummed. "What was it?"
She hadn't had the chance to ask earlier, but now she remembered Hugo's strange behavior. Since the twins were clearly fine, she wondered what all that panic had been about.
"Ah…" Hugo nodded, opening and closing his mouth. But before any words could slip out, Kiara clamped her hand over his mouth.
"Nothing!" Kiara smiled brightly. "It's really nothing."
Allen nodded quickly. "Yes, Madam. It's… it's nothing."
