Chapter 39 Valerian wanted to make his way over to Calliope , but she and Norton were already surrounded by a lively crowd .
Norton had snagged first place and handed his prize right over to Calliope .
Her beautiful face lit up with a smile that radiated pure happiness .
Thanks , Norton ! Hey , since my brother gifted me his prize , its my treat ! Calliopes voice rang out with a cheerful tone , her eyes sparkling with joy .
When she laughed , it was as if she brought color to the world around her .
Even in the midst of a crowd , she stood out .
Nortons friends were all singing Calliopes praises , and even those who didnt know her well were caught up in her infectious spirit .
Today we celebrate my brothers big win .
Everyone , if youre interested , lets have late night snacks at Silver Spoon ! Eat as much as you want , its all on me ! Youre the best , Calliope ! Thanks a ton ! We wont hold back then ! Lets hit the road for some free midnight snacks ! A boisterous group headed off to Silver Spoon .
Valerian had wanted to stop Calliope from running off with such a large crowd , but there were just too many people , and he didnt want to make a scene .
He stood there , a shadow crossing his face , feeling a bit left out .
Wait , isnt that your sister ? How come she didnt even glance your way ? A few of Valerians friends frowned at the situation .
Is she loaded or what ? Silver Spoons great but costs an arm and a leg .
A small group is one thing , but treating such a big crowd ? Shes gonna go broke ! Wheres she getting all this cash ? Valerians frown deepened .
He was just as curious about where Calliope was getting the money .
Their parents werent exactly generous with pocket money ; everyone had to earn their own .
Calliope worked at some fondue place as a waitress hardly a job that raked in the big bucks .

They had tried talking to her about it , but shed just brushed them off .
She seemed to enjoy working there , despite the meager pay .
Could it have something to do with Silas ? They never quite figured out what was going on between her and Silas .
Valerian doubted that someone like Silas would dole out spending money to Calliope .
Why would Silas , with all the women around him , pay any attention to someone like her ? Women lined up to be with him ; what made Calliope , appearing to be someone useless , special ? Im hungry too .
Lets grab something to eat , suggested one of Valerians friends .
Okay .
10:20 Chapter 39 They headed out in search of food and , as if by fate , ended up at Silver Spoon .
However , since Calliope was treating , the place was packed , and they couldnt find a table .
They settled for a spot next door , which was close enough to keep an eye on Calliopes group .
Valerian sat facing toward Calliopes table , which was buzzing with people and piled high with food .
Norton sat next to her , attentive as ever , passing her food and refilling her drink .
Calliope had had some wine , and she was in high spirits , laughing and chatting without a care in the world .
The whole group was bursting into fits of laughter every other minute , clearly having a great time .
