"They were worth it, though," Thalia added. "My stance on that will never change."
"I know you did," she replied. "I may just tell him once I find out the gender. Which will probably be...beginning of December, if I did my math right. And yeah, he may not, but who knows? I might catch him in a good mood. But I think you might be right, if there's one thing he's really good at, it's holding a grudge. I don't need to invite that war into my life, not when things are finally looking up."
She started shaking with quiet laughter. "Yeah, we are. We just have zero boundaries with each other. Sisters, and Greek sisters, to boot." She looked back at Clio. "The elderly lady who lives next door shook her head at me and muttered something about 'living in sin' and 'being inconsiderate of others' when she saw me the next morning. I had to bite my tongue to keep from telling her off. Terribly sorry I don't go to bed at 8, and that I like to have fun." She shrugged, smiling.
