Sam never expected Angel to show up here.
Given her personality, shouldn't she be holed up at home, never venturing out unless it was for something special? And with Sam's current understanding of Angel, he knew that a comic convention was definitely not her scene.
To her, such a place was no different from watching clowns perform at a circus.
Not that she meant any disrespect; it was just how she saw things from her world and perspective.
However, when Sam caught sight of Selena and Celeste standing not far behind Angel, he instantly understood everything.
It probably wasn't Angel's idea to come, and it was unlikely to be her mother's doing... so that left Selena.
The young girl, full of life and a love for gaming, was at an age where everything sparked her curiosity.
Just...
Sam felt a cold sweat coming on, unsure if Angel had seen the little gesture he made towards Sophie.
I've noticed some reader feedback on Angel's character, who indeed has some dominant and extreme traits. I believe that no one is without flaws, whether in fiction or real life; we all have our shortcomings.
I assure all my dear readers that Angel, as our female lead, will evolve. As the story unfolds, particularly through her interactions with Sam, she will experience personal growth, embracing self-redemption and mutual understanding.
Stay tuned for Angel's journey of transformation. Thank you, readers, for your continued support and companionship.
