When Rio finally reached the courtyard where his parents were staying, it was already a little late than their agreed upon time.
Obviously conversations with Nera and then catching up with Myra at the entrance wasted more than a few minutes.
Rio exhaled softly, brushed the creases off his shirt, and knocked twice before stepping inside.
"Sorry, I'm late." Rio said, flashing a small sheepish smile. "I swear, I've been here a dozen times, and I still get confused."
But his joke fell flat
As he noticed his parents just sitting opposite each other without saying anything.
'Okay, they seem serious enough.' Rio thought to himself. But before he could say something else, a voice called him out from the side.
"You're not late, brother. I just got here too."
Rio glanced around and was surprised to see Amy walking towards him from the balcony, her hairs swaying gently with the wind.
