The punch was enough to knock Echo off her feet, landing hard on her backside as she let go of the dog leash while her eyes filled with tears.
She reached up to her reddened cheek, blinking in confusion. Magnus must have really hit the guy hard, or he must have already been in a bad mood due to something else. Either way, she was starting to feel worried.
He was looking at her like there was something off about her.
Echo started to get up, looking around to see where her dog had run off to, hoping she could just find him and get out of here before anything else happened.
Sadly, that didn't seem to be in the cards today. The dog was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't want to return home without him since as oblivious as Narcissus typically was he would probably notice the lack of a dog in their apartment. Carefully rising to her feet, she moved slowly, hoping the baby was alright after the shock they had experienced.
She had no reason to expect what was going to happen next.
