Sapphira sat amongst the other mothers, while little Jeremiah sat amongst the children, listening to Wisteria's best tale-bearer weave her tales as beautiful as always.
Zuri and his brother sat at the far end which was his usual spot.
The tale she told was not a new one. It was a familiar one she had told before; The Hound and his lover.
However, to the family who had come to Wisteria for the first time, it was the first time they had heard the story. Several times, Jeremiah rose up to counter her words, saying the Hound of Zebulon had no lover!
But then when asked how he could be so certain, he would look toward his mother and father and become speechless.
"When do you plan on revealing it all to her?" Ethan asked as they listened to Damaris. "You cannot hide it forever."
"I know that," Zuri said, his gaze upon the woman. "I will tell her when the time is right."
