Anita considered going back inside and apologizing to Cain. It wasn't that she was actually mad at him. She was mad at herself and he'd been the unwitting target for her outburst. He was right, she couldn't stay mad at him forever. So often was he the victim of her misplaced ire that she assumed he was just accustomed to it by now. She waited, listening to see if her mother was going to come inside as well. Instead, she heard Owen go out the front door, so she lowered herself into a cross-legged position on the garage floor. She dug through her back until she found a metal cigarillo case lined with neatly wrapped joints and her lighter.
She hadn't specified what kind of smoke break.
Rylan’s eyes lazily followed a car as it moved down the street. When it turned the corner her sights settled on the blue Corvette parked in front of the brownstone. Her Corvette. Or rather, theirs. Hers and Owen’s. When he had driven to her apartment the night that had met - or, re-met, honestly she wasn’t sure how to think about the situation - she hadn’t been able to resist popping open the glove compartment and checking the registration. His name had been printed at the top. Along with hers. Julianna Hart. She liked the way it sounded.
She had been digging around for more proof of what he had told her. That they had been married and that he was the father of her children. Confirming his story was all too easily when she put effort into it.
A shift in the breeze brought a chill and she hunched her shoulders against it. Ears fell flat to the crown of her head as she pulled her jacket tighter around her. Holding the fabric closed with one hand she took another drag of the cigarette with another. A noise above her pushed her ears back to attention and she looked up to observe a bird walk up and down the power lines.
The door opened, but she didn’t turn around. She suspected it was Cain, coming to make sure she was back inside. Her tail slid across the porch to curl closer to her, too easy to be stepped on when it was laid out behind her in the dark.
An ear swiveled towards his voice behind her, before her head followed. She was surprised to find it was Owen that had come for her. She regarded him over her shoulder, blowing smoke to be carried off by the breeze. “Hey,” she replied, and his gentle tone drew a smile from her. Though there was plenty of room from where Cain had been seated she made the motions of scooting over to indicate she didn’t mind if he sat with her. She crushed her cigarette out on the concrete and pulled her sleeves over her hands as he settled next to her. She leaned on her legs and stared down at her feet, nervously tapping the white tops of her Converse together.
“I…” she paused, and took a moment to wonder if her following statement would be getting to the point too quickly. “I talked to Kama today,” she explained. “And Darcias. They confirmed your story. They told me everything.” She sighed.

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.
