Hestia rushed out of the kitchen at the sound of the doorbell, her face lighting up with a forced smile when she saw it was Enoch and Oberon. "Drusilla, dear, you could've given us a heads-up that Enoch was coming over. Now, we're totally unprepared."
Though she said this, panic was secretly gnawing at her.
Odette had just gotten back, and here was Enoch, showing up on their doorstep!
It was clear he hadn't given up on her daughter!
Hestia regretted letting Odette come home so soon.
But Odette had been having a rough time out there, and Hestia thought it best to bring her back.

The speaker was Leander, who had been upstairs until now.
Drusilla looked up at her father, now in his pajamas, "Dad?"
Odette also turned to Leander, "Dad?"
What had he just said?
Marry Enoch?
Hestia rushed to her husband's side, grabbing his hand as if to stop him, "Honey, why are you up? Weren't you resting?"
