“I’m home.” Hertha walked in with a plastic bag. When she bumped into Astrid, she chuckled awkwardly. “Thalassa has to work overtime today. She won’t be home. I took a spin at the supermarket and bought some ingredients for dinner.”

“Thalassa’s working late? Is she not coming home for dinner?” Astrid took the bag from Hertha, glanced behind her, and then asked, “Where are the kids?”

Hertha had left with Atticus and Dorian.
