"Dearest, Lower your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder." Hank spoke, prompting Valerica to let out a very long sigh.
"Hank. Please. Tell me what you are doing here." Valerica asked and Hank shook his head.
"I was getting to that, dear. You need to stop interrupting people. It is very rude. Now where was I? Oh yes. Serena arrived unannounced. There was no food in for a proper meal, so I am here getting two Lasagnes. One for Serena and one for young Apollo."
Everyone present was suddenly stunned by the news. Apollo was here? Now?
Orchid and Janine were giddy, Hecate was smiling, it was going to be nice to see her pupil once more.
Valerica, however, had a dark look on her face. "Hank. Were they alone when they arrived at my home?"
Hank nodded his head. "Yes. Just the two of them. I didn't see anyone else as I was leaving."
"And how long ago was that?"
"Around two- No wait a moment, I've been in and out of naps... Four hours ago."
