Diana smiled and nodded. “That’s the right attitude. What others do is their business. We just need to focus on ourselves.”
Thalia responded softly.
Matthew arrived soon after, carrying a gift. He chatted with Diana with a warm smile.
Thalia sat quietly to the side, watching him. Her gaze lingered on him for a moment, but her doubts didn’t last long.
