FREYA
The omega closest to the door brings me a place setting before I have asked for one.
"Aunty Luna," Martin is the first to speak again, “you came.”
"I came,” I reply smiling at him, wondering if our little trip this morning might actually be the beginning of a new kind of relationship between us.
I know a kid shouldn't have to suffer for the sins of his mother and— father but still accepting him is hard.
"Daddy — daddy, Aunty Luna got me a bow."
There's a brief show of shock on Eli’s face, almost like he is surprised I actually made good on my word and took Martin shopping as I promised.
Yet again, he thinks the worst of me.
"A bow," he says, finally, mildly. "What kind of bow?”
"A bow! With a string! A real string!"
"That sounds dangerous."
"Aunty Luna said it was fine."
