There was a loud thud, and we all looked toward the back door. It was Duncan. He stood in the doorway with a look of disbelief on his face as he glanced between me and Penny. He staggered into the kitchen, and I rushed to help him.
He was heavy, but Duncan still did his best not to lean too much on me as I guided him to the couch. I was about to stand up, but he pulled me toward him.
I could feel him shaking. From what? I could take several guesses, but I stayed silent. I needed Penny to explain.
"Laird," Penny began as she took her cup and sat down in the rocking chair...
"Where did that come from?" I asked, looking at the rocking chair that had never been there before.
"This? Hades."
I really needed to talk to that man. He may be the King of the Underworld, but he needs manners.
A soft laugh from Penny broke my murderous thoughts about Hades. She smiled at me and called Riley to join us.
