“Any time. Drinks are free tonight, yeah?”
I snort. “Most definitely.”
“It’snotnothing,” Callie smirks. “Hades has a girlfriend.”
Sean smirks. “I think Hades haslotsof girlfriends.”
“No, no,” Eilish grins. “Like a real girlfriend-girlfriend.”
Sean glances at me with an astonished grin on his lips. “No shit?”
“Why the fuck is everyone making this soweird,” I grumble, turning to head out the door.
Sean follows me out, helping me lug a few more cases of stuff into the bar before I see a familiar black town car pull up in front of the building. I head to the curb, opening the passenger door and helping my grandmother out.
She beams at the newly remodeled front of the Irish pub that her granddaughter, Eilish, and Neve are about to open.
“Hard to believe she actually pulled it off, isn’t it, Ya-ya?”
Dimitra chides me, playfully slapping my hand as I grin.
“Not hard to believe at all, Hades. She’s a Drakos, after all. A Dragon. The blood of the Spartans—”
Not the Spartans again.“Hey, Ya-ya?” I clear my throat. “I, uh, wanted to tell you something.”
“Oh?”
“I’ve…met someone. She’s not Greek, but—”
“But she’s very smart,verypretty, and quite intimidating,” she finishes for me, grinning at my confused look. “And British.”
I blink. Dimitra chuckles, reaching up to pat my cheek fondly.
“I’m old, Hades. Not blind, or stupid. And I think she’ll beverygood for you.”
I grin. “I do, too. She’s coming tonight.”
“Good,” she beams. “Good. She should be part of this. We can toast to your sister, and your sisters-in-law, and to falling in love, and having lots of babies.”
I snicker, rolling my eyes. “Yeah, let me get a cocktail in me before we start talking babies, okay?”
She laughs, patting my hand as I walk her into the bar.
“Gamóto,” she suddenly gasps, frowning as she turns. “I left my bag in the car.”
I grin, leaning down to kiss her cheek. “I got it.”
“Hades!” Callie stops me on my way out. “Where’s this hot date of yours?”
I roll my eyes. “Let me get Ya-ya’s bag, then I’m going to get her.”
She grins. “Good. And hey…” She lifts a shoulder and smiles. “I’m really happy for you, you know.”
I give her a hug, kissing the top of her head. “Thanks. And I’m really proud ofyou.” I raise my eyes, looking around the brand-new pub. “This place is insane, Cals. Andyou did this.”
She beams.
“Okay, let me get that bag, then, you and I are drinking.”
