Undeniable Horrors

Galaxy sits in the garden as the sun rises. She watches as the colors change from a dark purple and blue to beautiful mixes of yellow, orange and red.

“Ooh,” Peony says happily and points at the sun, “pretty, mummy.” “Yeah,” Galaxy says sweetly, “it is pretty. What do you think Nerine?” “Play,” Nerine says happily and starts running around while falling intermittently. Galaxy laughs and smiles at their differences.

She turns her head towards Valerian who is sleeping soundly with Hadassah is her arms.

Quade steps outside and sits down next to her, “What’s going on?” “Your father insisted that Mazarine, me and you be ready for today,” Galaxy says honestly, “so I decided to spend quality time with my children before I go do stuff today.” Quade nods, “You could’ve invited me.” Galaxy nods, “I know. I just wanted to spend time with them alone.” Quade nods in understanding, “I get it. It’s fine.”
