Calliope's words left everyone in the room utterly shocked. Monty and Zelda were just as astonished, while Horatio and the others wore expressions of disbelief.

“Callie, you can't just say things like that!” Horatio exclaimed. “This isn't a relationship you can just walk away from!”

“Calliope, do you have to make a scene at Lisette's birthday party? Can't you stand to see her happy?” Zelda snapped, glaring at Calliope.
