“I think I’ll go.” Aphrodite knew that Sanders was forcing her to make the decision, because he couldn’t. She didn’t know about the fantasy that he entertained, but she knew that he wanted her around, and not simply because he felt that Akiko needed a role model. She knew she needed to make the right decision for the both of them. “I’ll be back of course, but I think this is a conversation you two should have privately.” Pushing hair behind her ear, she smiled softly at him.
“I think this is a really good thing.” Dite didn’t know how much Sanders knew about Akiko’s strained relationship with her mother. She knew a few details from the emails they exchanged while Akiko was away in California, but there was something reserved about the young girl. She never said too much. Only ever just enough.
She pulled Sanders into another hug, because she could get away with it. Sometimes, she was selfish like that. “Let Akiko know I’ll talk to her later,” she said against his shoulder before pulling away again. She let Sanders walk her out.
Akiko, meanwhile, was upstairs, waiting for the fallout of her decision to reach her. She was huddled up in her room, in a fort she had made with her sheets and blankets and pillows. Her attention was focused on the brightly colored game on her TV. The Legend of Zelda, one of her favorites, and one she always reverted back to when she was freaking out about something.
She had headphones on, some weird eclectic power pop song was playing loudly from an MP3 player. The child was clearly determined to avoid the possibility of confrontation as long as possible.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
