"Ares, Ares, Ares!" Sara half yelled "Penny for your thoughts," she said, bringing him back to reality.Ares jolted out of his reverie, looking around to make sure no one saw that. He realized he had been staring at her the whole time, his mind wandered.A strong sense of sadness was brought out of his thoughts, he was particularly enjoying the memory and didn't want it to end yet."What were you thinking about?" Sara asked, anxious to know what had him thinking so much.“You,” he said simply, “us” “Oh okay,” Sara said somewhat as a question.They both paused, each not knowing what to say to the other."We should go for that walk' Ares suggested, taking out his wallet to clear the bills."Yes" Sara agreed almost immediately, she knew it meant he was going to tell her what she wanted to hear.Ares paid the bills on the table, adjusting a corner of the tray on it to hold down the cash."Let's go," he said, standing up to help her.Sara took his hand, willing herself to be left by him,

“Ares I would rather not be patient” she countered, letting her chin slip out of his grasp“Sara, some things are beyond your understanding right now” with time you definitely will understand”“We should return” Sara suggested, while the delay of not knowing the truth was getting her frustrated, and the warmth of that bed and her guitar were going to ease her mind.“Sara,” Ares started“Ares I would rather not be patient” she countered, letting her chin slip out of his grasp“Sara, some things are beyond your understanding right now” with time you definitely will understand”“We should return” Sara proposed, while the delay of not knowing the truth was getting her frustrated and the warmth of that bed and her guitar were certainly going to ease her mind.“Sara,” Ares started“please Ares, let's just go home” She was surprised she called it home, probably because it felt somewhat like a home to her now a home she'd only been in for about two daysAres knew it was time to go home, he ha

“I found Hades” were the first words that Ivan boomed into the phone, immediately Hermès picked up on the second ring.“What?” Hermès asked to confirm. “I found Hades” Ivan repeated“How, that easy?” “I'll be at the bar in twenty minutes, meet me there,” Ivan said” and bring Artemis with you”“Uhm, I don't know about that,” Hades said, “she has been sour all day”“Yeah, I may have noticed,” Ivan confirmed, worried something was wrong with her. “ She was sounding off, just check on her, will you.”“ I'll try, you know how she can be when she is like that,” Hades said.“Just do what you can,” “I will see you in a bit,” he said before hanging up Ivan maneuvered through the traffic, eyes set on the road as he thought of ways to deal with the Hades issue.What with him being Vera's attorney-to-be and the fact that Mr. Anderson might still proceed with his threats, Ivan had encountered the man a few times in the past three years, and he could easily tell that he was trouble.Marilyn kne

Vera walked into the office, exhausted from the day's event and Ivan's unruly attitude towards the lawyer. Was it jealousy, or just sheer bitterness over the fact that she wants to protect herself and her reputation by getting a lawyer early?But then there was also the possibility that he was going through something else that made him lash out at the attorney like that.Having known him and living under the same roof for three years, she could see that the look in his eyes was not a pleasant one, he was bothered or thinking about something.Not to justify his misbehavior though, he could have been nice if he wanted to, and why did he not want her to get the Hades card?She didn't do well herself by giving him that attitude afterward, but he deserved it, she was exhausted and just needed to rest.She finally got to her office, opening the door with a little more force than she usually would and stepping in, going straight to her desk.Collapsing on her seat, Vera thought about how ex

Ares decided to check on the sect, they hadn't concluded on something in the last meeting before he left angrily, and he hoped they had finally concluded.The wave of anger washed over him as he remembered how Hades had blatantly suggested they use Sara as bait, he would be damned if he allowed such.Scrolling through his phone, he finally saw the contact ID of the one person he could stand talking to currently, the one person who understood him and knew what it was like being in his position.Swiveling in his chair, he waited for her to pick up, his gaze on the screen as it vibrated in his hand.“Hello son,” Mother Isis' calm voice rolled from the other end it had a soothing effect on Ares, like that of a mother lulling her child to sleep.“Mother,” he said, his voice conveying his feelings.“Are you alright, son?” She asked concerned.“I am fine,”“I am not convinced, Ares, but tell me when you are ready to.” Mother Isis said, not convinced by his reply.“I called to ask about the l

Brushing her teeth lazily as she sat on the toilet bowl.Tearing her pajamas off her body when she was done, she trudged into the shower Putting on and letting the cold shower cascade down her back. Exhaling sharply as the cold cut through her skin, giving her goosebumps. It was precisely what she n
