The next morning, Hecate woke alone in bed. She sat up sleepily, trying to piece together her night.

"Thanatos?" she called as she stumbled out of the room. She hadn't been able to sleep longer than a few hours since Selene broke her curse. The house was empty, but someone had left a pot of coffee for her. She opened a message to Thanatos on her phone and closed it again. He was the one that had crept out, not the other way around.

"Stupid emotions," Hecate muttered before pouring herself a mug and going for a shower.

By the time Hecate got out of the bathroom, she had two messages from Persephone asking if she was awake and that she was coming over. Hecate jumped when there was a knock at the door.

"So, I lied, I'm already here, surprise!" Persephone said and came inside, Cerberus and Jackal at her heels. "Sorry, the dogs wanted to come. Wow, I knew Thanatos was hiding a house out here, but this is something else."

"Have you seen him this morning?" Hecate asked as she patted the dogs rubbing against her. Persephone helped herself to the remainder of the coffee.

"He was up, and Charon was dropping him at his apartment when I left the villa. Why?"

"No reason," Hecate said, leaning against the bench. "He just fucking died last night and left without saying goodbye."

"He probably didn't want to wake you. Selene is still fussing over Hermes this morning even though he's perfectly fine," said Persephone. She sipped her coffee, her green eyes studying her. "Thanatos was also fine, Hecate. What's with the face?"

"Kissed him," Hecate muttered, before biting into an apple. "Twice."

"Oh, I see," Persephone said, lowering her coffee. "And you think this is a bad thing?"

Hecate shrugged. "He might have left because of it. Maybe I overreacted a bit to seeing him hurt too."

"I can see how it would upset you. Even Hades was upset when he came home last night." Persephone put her hand over Hecate's and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Thanatos will talk to you when he's ready to. Now, Selene tells me you chose a spot for a garden. Want some help growing it?"

Outside, Hecate took Persephone to the grass behind the kitchen door.

"This is the space I'd like to grow my garden. I want it close so I can grab things when I cook, and I'll put a greenhouse over there," Hecate explained.

"Thanatos doesn't mind you changing the landscape?" asked Persephone.

"He never said I couldn't. He can change it if back if he doesn't like it." And Hecate wasn't about to ring him and ask permission. She had never asked another god for anything, and she wasn't about to start now.

"Are you going to show me what you got, little demigoddess?" Hecate asked, not wanting to talk any more about Thanatos if she didn't have to. Persephone grinned a big 'fuck you' smile and flicked her fingers at the grass. The scent of spring sap and thunderstorms filled the air as magic rolled out of her.
