Capítulo 266: Chapter 266: Sassafras Goes Home

This time the crossing seemed easier, whether because Sassy was with me or due to the fact I was ready for it and knew it was coming I didn't know. I was just grateful to step through instead of falling, my nausea not affecting me to the point of barfing this time.

I glanced to my right, at Sassafras. He looked the same, aside from the red-tinted skin and cute horns tucked into his shaggy hair. He pulled his hand free of mine in a jerk, shoving it into the back pocket of his jeans like my touch offended him somehow.

There was no time to ask him what his problem was. Theridialis stood there before me, beaming a huge smile, arms outstretched.

When did I become such a hugger? I usually avoided hugs. But I couldn't resist his cherub smile, the gentleness in his face.

"Welcome back, Sydlynn." His amber eyes fell on Sassafras. "Hello, son."

"Dad." Sass's voice was a growl. Neither moved to hug, I noticed. Happy moment over.
