Grandpa’s announcement brought an awkward silence to the table. Josh was the first to break it, looking at me with obvious pleading in his eyes. “Boss, can’t you stay a bit longer?”

I curled my lips into a teasing smile. “What, you can’t bear to let me go?”

He nodded hard, not hesitating at all. “Of course I’ll miss you! If you leave, who’s going to help me with math? Who’s going to carry me in games? Who’s going to have my back?”

I raised an eyebrow and softened my voice. “But I have to go home eventually. I can’t stay at the Eclipse Pack forever.”

Josh’s face fell instantly, all the spirit draining out of him.

I could tell he really didn’t want me to leave-he cared even more than the rest of the Ortega brothers.

Samson, on the other hand, hadn’t said a single word the entire time. His face was the same as always, calm and indifferent. It was as if whether I stayed or left had nothing to do with him.

For some reason, his calmness left a tightness in my chest.

Hugh sighed and turned to Grandpa. “Richard, Amanda’s brought so much happiness to our family during her time here. I really don’t want to see her go. I’ll miss having her around.”

His voice was full of genuine regret.

I looked up at Hugh and said softly, “Hugh, I’ll come visit you often.”

Hugh’s mood lifted quite a bit, though his gaze couldn’t help drifting over to Samson.

Seeing Samson still show no reaction, Hugh’s frustration became obvious.

Right then, Samson set down his utensils and said in a flat tone, “Richard, Sibley, I’m done eating. I’ll head upstairs.”

He got up and left without hesitation, not giving anyone a chance to stop him. As I watched him disappear through the dining room doors, couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions in my heart. Thankfully, I covered it up quickly and no one noticed.

After dinner, I walked with Grandpa and Grandma through the garden at Ortega Castle.

The autumn night air was a little chilly, but I barely noticed. My mind was a mess, flipping back and forth between Samson’s cold back and Grandpa’s sudden announcement that he was taking me home. I was completely distracted.

Grandpa and Grandma shared a look, clearly aware that something was off with me.

Grandma was the first to speak, her tone gentle. Amanda, you don’t feel like going home, do you?”

The second she called me out, I pressed my lips together and stayed quiet. I guess my silence was as good as admitting it.

Grandma shot Grandpa a look, and he immediately caught on. He stretched and yawned. “It’s getting chilly, I’m going to grab another jacket.” Then he turned and went back inside, giving us some space to talk in private.
