Aphrodite laughed, a sound that mostly resounded in her throat. She wasn’t bothered by the implications he was attempting to make, knowing very well not to take most of the things he said too seriously. Her gaze remained fixed on him, unrelenting in its silent and entertained judgement. “I guess it’s good you’re not a single dad then,” she mused. “No need for anyone to take pity on you.” In all fairness, Aphrodite didn’t think Owen went anywhere with the child that meant Julianna wasn’t within a ten foot radius, lest Cain need something other than being toted around like a trophy. She also doubted his interest in the interests of women that weren’t Jules.
She glanced down to where he handled her leg, momentarily taken aback before her gaze lifted to watch him leave the room. She heard him answer the door and speak to someone just inside it. She sipped at her wine, and Julianna had yet to return. Still trying to wrestle Cain into something resembling order.
Continuing to nurse her wine, she watched the breeze move tree branches out of the window, the voices moving closer. At the sound of her name, she turned her head just enough to regard the trio standing at the apex of the living room and the hall. She smiled at them, seeming to only have the one. The slightly disarming one that reached her eyes and managed to light up her whole face. She didn’t appear bothered by his stare, quite used to the reaction in fact. “Hello Holland,” she said, her accent almost dropping the ‘H’ on both words and she set her wine on the table. Standing, she smoothed her hands over the fabric across her hips and moved closer to the other bodies. Skirts swirling around her calves as she gracefully moved around the coffee table. “It’s nice to meet you,” she said, her voice all melodic and pleasant. Violet eyes swept over him, Owen’s hot dad comment not going to waste on the stranger, before they settled on the child clinging to his neck. “And hello to you pretty girl.” Her tone was gentle, aware of the girl’s apparent shyness. “What’s your name, love?”
