By the time Rio stepped into the dinner hall, the golden lights overhead bathed the room in warmth, casting a soft glow over the polished cutlery and shared laughter. The long table was already full, which was a rare sight.
Everyone, just enjoying the rare family gathering.
Rio glanced around the table and smiled as he noticed Artemis sitting there along with Amy.
Rebecca had already left for the royal palace shortly after they reached raven estate and he locked himself up.
Artemis rose from her seat as soon as she saw him. "How are you?" she asked, pulling him into a soft hug.
Rio returned the embrace, but instead of answering, he looked towards Amy. "How is she?"
"She'll be fine," Artemis replied, while smoothing his hair with a sigh. "So stop worrying about her and come eat. You look even thinner than your shadow."
