Aphrodite clapped her hands together, Rose’s agreement and the obvious change in both of their demeanor pleased her. It had previously seemed impossible that her smile could get any wider, or that her face could get any brighter, but it did. Her expressive features were always authentic, the range of her emotions playing out easily on her face. “I can teach you.” Turning on her heel in a swirl of skirt and petticoats, she moved back to the couch. From her bag, she retrieved a brush before settling effortlessly upon the edge of the cushions. The brushless hand pat twice lightly on her knees for Rose to join her, then shifted towards the empty spot on the couch for Holland.
“I’ll show you how to do a french braid.” Lifting Rose into her lap, she started to pull all of that brown hair behind her shoulders. Gathering the gentle waves in one hand she began brushing the tangles from the ends. Aphrodite, the natural socialite that she was, did not need Owen to carry the conversation for her. “So what do you do, Holland?” she asked, letting the hair fall from her hands, continuing to brush and untangle without pulling. “Do you work with Owen?”
Setting the brush aside, nimble fingers separated strands of hair at the crown of her head. She didn’t instruct as she braided, having asked him a question that she was genuinely curious as to the answer, but she moved slowly, giving him time to absorb the process.
Julianna attempted the blanket again and Cain was too distracted with the colorful mobile to kick it off again. Satisfied with the development, she stood straight and lifted her arms above her head in a stretch, tail flickering around her knees.
Even though he had just crossed them, she forced his arms away from his chest so she could link hers through one that she claimed for herself. She steered Owen away from the crib and the child, in case he decided that nap time was cancelled. Owen never seemed to learn that no naps lead to a fussy, grumpy Cain as the day progressed.
Out of the room she closed the door, save but a crack. There were baby monitors scattered throughout the house, but she was a bit overprotective. She moved as if they would go back downstairs. “You left your socially awkward friend with my friend. The one you are intimidated by, because she was asking you questions?” Julianna looked up at him dubiously through her lashes, pulling him towards the stairs, unaware that he may have had secondary intentions for ditching them and joining her.
