Hades has been…camping? At our backyard since his last visit.
The pups were happy that he was there. The kids were a bit weary, but overall, it felt weird.
Duncan only shook his head when the king of the underworld would be rummaging through our fridge for food when he woke up.
It was surreal that he was here. When Claude asked why, his answer was simple.
"My wife is with her mother."
That made things clear. It was the equinox that Persophone had to leave Hades. And with the pups, Persephone's personal favorite, it was a way to be connected to her.
I looked at them. Them meaning my kids, the pups, Hades, and Duncan. They were sitting on the living room floor playing Scrabble.
My kids had each adult beside them. Nicole was leaning against Duncan, while my boy was sitting close to Hades. From the look of consecration, they must have been talking telepathically.
