In the office. Thalassa was halfway through tidying up, deeply troubled about her four children. She called Evelyn, "Mom, the kids showed up at my workplace just now. Are you around?" Her biggest fear was the kids running lost.

"I found them! These little rascals came back to me on their own! I just brought them out for some fresh air and to broaden their horizons, but these little devils ran off and nearly scared me half to death! What did I do to deserve this kind of torture! Evelyn roared, her voice high pitched and filled with panic from crying

Thalassa held the phone a bit further from her ear, else she'd be deafened by the yelling. Though Evelyn was complaining, Thalassa caught the main point -the kids were back with her. That was a relief.
