In stark contrast to Paige Summers's gloomy mood, Sweetie was ecstatic. After being cooped up for several days, it was finally free and could stand openly on the truck's roof. The vehicle's speed didn't bother it in the slightest. Perched high above, it calmly surveyed the curious and wary gazes below, already possessing the air of a sky king!
Watching it occasionally circle through the air before calmly returning to its perch, Paige Summers tried to lift her spirits.
No one in the vehicle spoke, and the atmosphere was oppressive. She grew impatient with staying inside. After having Erin Quinn sit next to the gentle-natured Liam Chandler, she pulled out a cloth, wrapped it around her head, told Marcus Monroe what she was doing, and then followed Sweetie's example by climbing onto the roof.
Howard Everett's lips twitched, but in the end, he said nothing to oppose her.
