Priorities

A lingering gaze passed between Bea and Otto before she blushed and jumped away. She walked off without saying another word.

For a moment, she expected judging eyes from all around her, but not a single person cared as they gazed upon the night sky. With confusion, Bea looked up and realized where their interest came from.

The two angels floated next to one another. No one could understand their words, but Sera returned, troubled.

Bea rushed to ask what Scarred Sera said, but before words could leave her mouth, Sera's watch buzzed. Some message came, which made her frown.

"Vicky! Could you open a portal to New Athens for me?"

Their daughter already looked tired, but she fulfilled her mother's request without question. The human-sized portal opened, and Sera went through without another word.

She seemed worried and even a bit fearful. Before the portal fully closed, Bea saw a glimpse of Sera sprinting out of her mansion.
