After finishing a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, Calliope and Ss headed over to the old Myers family estate.
That morning, Gideon and Yvette were having a wedding ceremony with a bit of a twist—a traditional Western-style wedding. Apparently, Yvette had heard somewhere that Eamon had a fondness for old-fashioned themes, so she insisted on adding a vintage touch to the proceedings at the estate.
The ce was decked out with twinkling lights and cheerful decorations, giving it a warm, festive glow. By the time Calliope and Ss arrived, the house was bustling with rtives and guests, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Auntie Callie!" Calista and Dahlia Baker, who were rarely both home at the same
time, beamed when they saw Calliope and rushed over. These two adored Calliope and were always glued to her side whenever they could be.
Ss gave them a nod as they came over.
"Uncle Ss, can we borrow Aunt Callie for a bit?" Calista asked with a cheeky grin.
Ss raised an eyebrow, ying along. "Borrow? What do you mean borrow? My wife''s not a library book, you know."
"Not like that! Don''t get the wrong idea!" Calistaughed. "I just need her help to pass a level in my game! You wouldn''t believe how awesome Aunt Callie is—she can tackle anything!"
"She''s the best! I bragged to all my ssmates that she could help me clear the game levels! Imagine if I couldn''t do it-it''d be embarrassing for Aunt Callie, and by extension, you, right?"
"So, for your reputation, can we borrow her, please?"
Ss chuckled, shaking his head. "You''re quite the talker, aren''t you?"
Calista grinned. "Well, I learned from the best! You''re cool and generous, right, Uncle Ss? You''re my favorite!"
Ss didn''t say much, just nced at Calliope. "It''s no use asking me. Your Aunt Callie makes her own decisions."
Calista pleaded, "Aunt Callie?"
Calliope couldn''t help butugh. "Alright, alright, I''ll help you out!"
"Yay! You''re the best, Aunt Callie!"
"Aunt Callie, I have a question too! Can you help me with something I''m curious about?"
Before she knew it, Calliope was whisked away by the two lively siblings. Ss watched them go with a thoughtful expression before.

Meanwhile, Calliope found herself in a cozy corner with Calista and Dahlia seated
on either side. She helped Calista with her game first, then turned to Dahlia. "Now, what''s your question?"
Dahlia, with a spark of curiosity in her eyes, asked about some health-rted topics. "Aunt Callie, I heard you''re something of a miracle worker with this stuff— is that true?"
Calliope nodded, smiling warmly at Dahlia. “That''s right. Are you interested in learning about this kind of thing?"
"Totally," Dahlia replied eagerly. "I''ve
always been fascinated by health and wellness, and I''m thinking of studying it. If you''re so
ver
knowledgeable, can Ie to you with my questions?"
"Of course," Calliope assured her. She''d always had a soft spot for Calista and Dahlia. They were
different from the rest of the Baker family one was quite sharp, and the other was sweet and obedient, always close to her.
"And what about you, Calista?" Calliope asked with a smile. "Any ns for what you want to study?"
"Me? I''m not sure yet. I was thinking of asking Uncle Ss for some advice on what major would be best," Calista said thoughtfully. "Do you think he''d give me good guidance, Aunt Callie?"
