THURSDAY—
"Good morning!" Penny jogged down the stairs, catching Atlas on the couch while Hugo was coming in from the front door.
Judging by Atlas's casual attire, he didn't have any plans for the day. As for Hugo, who was dripping with sweat, she knew he had just finished his morning training.
"Are you leaving?" Atlas asked, his first question. "No jet lag?"
"Well," Penny cleared her throat and sat beside him, "I'm meeting Nina."
Atlas's brows rose as he nodded. "Why not just invite her here?"
"Nina is a busy woman, not just you, First Brother." She bumped her side against his shoulder. "It'll be quick."
As soon as she said those words, Penny jumped off the couch and walked away. She flashed Hugo a wide smile as she walked past him. When she reached the door, she looked back and said,
"Tell Third Brother I'm borrowing his car until my motorcycle arrives. I tried waking him up, but he's not waking up. You might need to call a doctor just in case he never does."
