Dorothy: It doesn’t matter how old they are, men are perverts.

I should have said yes just to see if Shax meant it. However, covered in a fish man’s guts, and not feeling romantic, I shook my head.

“I’m afraid I need to be somewhere else shortly.”

“What do you think we saw?” he asked.

My shoulders rolled. “Obviously, a spy for the king. Not sure what he was looking for. He had some kind of shield over that part of his memories.”

“Meaning we still have no answer. I’ll have to advise Adexios to be cautious.”

“And while you’re doing that, I’m going to check on my granddaughter.”

I left Shax, knowing I’d have to hurry. I could feel the clock ticking. The cruise ship had entered DJ’s Locker, the home of my daughter and son-in-law.

My dear daughter wouldn’t react well to finding her mother cheating on the memory of her father. May his soul rot in Heaven. How the man managed to remain so disgustingly good being married to me was a mystery. The only untoward thing he ever did was marry me. And there were times I wished I’d never eloped.

But then, Shax might not have grown into such a delicious example of a man.

Delicious? The very idea had me gnashing my teeth. Had I entered my horny hundreds again?

Good thing Gerard, a mortal man, had already died by then. The man had proven boring and predictable in the sack. Given Shax’s intriguing new confidence, I didn’t think he would leave me yawning. Just one kiss and I’d almost creamed myself. Obviously, a sign I needed to get out more often.

Quickly making it to my room, I hopped into the cramped shower. There was barely room to move around. Good thing I didn’t have to shave my legs.

The lack of space didn’t stop the devil from appearing, looming on the other side of the tiny frosted door.

“How come no one told me there would be Undine sushi?” he exclaimed.

“Is that what that thing was called? An Undine?”

“Judging by the smell of its guts in your hair, a variation of.”

“Whatever its name, it was on board the ship, spying.”

“Not very well, obviously, or he wouldn’t have been caught.” The devil snorted.

“It died before we could find out much. I don’t suppose his soul came to you in Hell?”

Lucifer shook his head. “The Undines are interesting creatures. Possessed of some intellect, and more closely resembling the humans on the Earthen plane than any other animal. Except for one thing. Their souls don’t come to me.”

“They go to Heaven?” Because that was the only other place that came quickly to mind.

“Nope. They go somewhere else.”

“Cool.” And not entirely surprising. There were many planes out there. And different timelines. Reality could change with the killing of just one person. Not a butterfly as the mundanes liked to quote. Only grave and pivotal deaths could affect huge shifts big enough to spawn a new timeline.

In another world, I might have married Shax. Being married, would he still have chosen
