I WOULD NOT LET HIM leave the room for three full days. We lay together in the bed, sleeping, talking, devouring each other’s bodies. I learned much about my husband during those first days of lovemaking. I learned how to make him tremble and gasp. I learned his taste and smell, the curve of his neck, how to kiss the hollow of his collarbone. I learned I could stop him in mid-sentence with one look, with a hand placed on the inside of his thigh. And I learned to love every part of him, from the muscles across his back, to his strong calves and thighs, to his hands that could be so gentle against my skin.

But when we finally left the cocoon of our room, I learned it could not last.

He was so proud and confident when we first left our palace, my handsome husband. So ready to show me the realm we would share, the world we would rule together. We walked the Elysian Fields, hand in hand, sampling fruits from the trees, feeling the gentle breeze against our skin. We made love for hours on the mist-wrapped banks of the Lethe, gasping gently into the thick air as we tried to delay the culmination, to savor each other as long as possible. And we took each other violently, forcefully, in the heat and fire on the cliffs above the Phlegethon, drawing our nails across each other’s backs, screaming our passion across the Underworld.

Mortals assume our realm is separate from the living world, that we are somehow distant and inaccessible. That is not the truth. The underworld is a mere heartbeat away from the living world, lying like a velvet shadow across the entire mortal realm. When there is trouble in the sunlit lands, disease or famine or war, we know it. Often we know it before the mortals, and sometimes even before the gods.

So, despite the constant distraction of my husband’s body, it was mere days before we realized what my mother had done.
