Thalassa offered a polite, charming smile. “Yep, quadruplets.”

“Ma’am, you’re incredible. Having twins is already quite a feat, but you’ve gone and had

four at once!” The flight attendant was brimming with warmth, her smile infectious as she

struck up a conversation with Thalassa.

“Yup, my mom’s a superhero; she popped us four munchkins out just like that. And my

dad’s pretty amazing too at reproduction.” Elowen chimed in with her disarmingly cute

nod, dropping a bombshell in her innocent chatter.

Thalassa’s eyes went wide, and she quickly covered Elowen’s little mouth, smiling

awkwardly at the flight attendant. “We’ll all have the lunch boxes, thank you.”

Elowen, the cutest and most animated of the bunch, must have picked up some

interesting lingo from her playmates at preschool to come out with such a statement.

Thalassa felt so embarrassed she could almost dig a hole with her toes.

“Here are your lunch boxes. Please enjoy your meal.” the flight attendant said, sensing

Thalassa’s discomfort and tactfully not pursuing the quadruplet topic any further.

After placing the lunch boxes on the tray tables, she gave Thalassa a nod and Elowen a

look with adore and sympathy before moving along with her cart.

“Um…” Elowen, whose mouth was still covered, stayed still. Her big, sparkling eyes rolled

around, looking both shrewd and adorably naive.

Realizing she was still covering her daughter’s mouth, Thalassa quickly removed her hand

and caressed Elowen’s soft cheek, her tone a mix of affection and resignation. “Sweetie,

who taught you those things?”

“My friend Dylan.” Elowen explained in her tender, childish voice, “He knows my siblings

and I are quads. He said my dad must be super strong, and he’s jealous because he wants

a brother or a sister too, but his dad doesn’t want to.”

Dylan again, that little rascal and Mr. Ethan’s nephew, always filling Elowen’s head with

such ideas.

How could such a young kid know so much?

Thalassa smiled and ruffled her little one’s hair. “Hungry, huh? Let’s eat.”

“Yeah, my tummy’s gonna cave in! I want to eat, and I think I could eat two portions.”

Elowen declared, kneading her round belly.

Her expression was irresistibly endearing.

The other three tykes also craned their necks in anticipation of the meal.

10:52

Thalassa opened the lunch boxes for them one by one.

Behind them, Callum sat with Evelyn, both opting for lunch boxes from the flight attendant

who, Callum noticed, was wearing a headset.

Curiosity stirred within him; he’d flown plenty of times but had never seen an attendant

dish out meals with a headset on.

This flight attendant was an anomaly, and it piqued Callum’s suspicions about her reasons

for wearing it.

–

He had overheard her exchange with Thalassa after all, on a plane, the confined space

made every conversation crystal clear.

The attendant had been marveling at Thalassa’s quadruplet, seemingly innocuous, but

Callum sensed something off.

Two hours later, the plane touched down safely at Weston Country Airport.

Callum led them out of the terminal where a car was already waiting.

“Please get in, and I’m taking you all somewhere.” Callum said.
