Rhea stared at him, her expression sharpening. The temperature in the room seemed to drop with the shift in her mood. Her curled fingers tightening.

Ares continued, tone clipped. "I know exactly what you are doing. You are causing trouble just to get my attention. Well, now you have it. Stop this foolishness at once."
Rhea exhaled sharply, exasperation flashing across her face. She turned her head toward Ellie with a dry, incredulous look that all but said, Can you believe this idiot?
Ellie raised both brows in a helpless expression, then looked away with a small sigh that admitted he understood her frustration.
