The Candace (Demeter) and Corinna (Persephone) dynamic is becoming one of my favorites, especially when it comes to Corinna's love life, i.e., with Blake (Hades), of whom Candace violently disapproves.
The phone call from Candace was quite a surprise.
"Hey, kid. I just, well, I wondered if you wanted me to come by for a week or so. Just stay at your place."
"E-excuse me?"
"Well, I mean, you must be so exhausted," she hastily explained, "I mean, you did just have a baby and all. So I figured if you wanted I could come over and help out with him. Take care of him so you could rest. Keep an eye on him."
There was the tip-off.
"Keep an eye on him? As in protect him?"
"I-I wouldn't say protect him. It's just…well, Blake is huge. And scary, and menacing, and please can't I just come?"
A pause. Corinna weighed her options.
"Hell no, Candace."
