Punished

"It's my fault for being so negligent." Calliope said, looking at the shadow guards. It was impudent of her to think she didn't need these guards when she left Orin again when the truth seemed far from this.

"Please let him go… I don't want to create a scene. My family is not ready for a scandal." Sabrina said. She was ready to beg.

Her reputation was already in shambles and she couldn't afford to drag her family into the mud she already was in.
