Patience

"It's about you and Enzo. I've noticed how much you care about him. I found it strange. Athena… Before Lanny and Enzo, were you two in a relationship?"

Athena: "..."

She didn't expect to hear that question from Vladimir. 'What made him think Enzo and I were a couple?'

Noticing Athena's puzzled look, Vladimir continued talking.

"Lanny also told me something. I know it sounds ridiculous… but I want to hear it from you. She said… the three of you are a throuple."

Athena blinked in amusement. After his words sunk in, she erupted into a peal of laughter. She could already tell that Lanny made up a story, teasing and deceiving her brother.

"Pfffft! V, you are overthinking," Athena couldn't stop laughing, tapping Vladimir's back.

"Enzo and I were never in a relationship... And no, the three of us were definitely not in a throuple," Athena clarified, astonished that Vladimir would even entertain the notion of Lanny's joke being true.
