Dinner did not end with smiles as it had started. Zulu left in a huff. Of course, she did not leave the left-over seeds behind. Rori packed them for her and carried them and the bird back to her house.
The kids were confused; White was happy. Sunshine sent them off to bed. Once they were asleep, she returned to the living room where Hades was waiting for her.
He stood near a closed window, part of his body leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, watching the sky for signs of a new disaster they were not prepared for.
"Kids are in dream land." She announced.
He turned to her with a soft warm look in his eyes.
She walked over and nudged him with her hip. "What?" Sunshine smirked.
"Nothing. You just look really beautiful when you're bossy."
Sunshine snorted. "Bossy?"
He stepped closer and brushed a hand down her arm. "Terrifyingly bossy. And incredibly sexy."
