It was around 12:00 PM today that she made her frantic entrance inside. If Athena is here to support her brother, then why isn't Steven Tyler here with his kids?"

"She was probably thinking, 'What would Michael do?'" Reggie added, "She told me that's what she does when she's at a crossroads," she sighed, her gaze fixed on the television screen where Athena's figure was slowly disappearing into the car, "She told me that whenever she's in doubt, she thinks about what you would do in that situation. You're her rock, Michael."
