She was very grateful that he was not going to have his entire forge at their home. She was certain that the noise would drive her insane. She supposed a small workshop would be acceptable. She was going to have to make concessions for him. He was her husband now. For better or for worse.
He was trying to please her, she could see that. She did have to wonder, though, did he really love her or her beauty? Aphrodite wasn’t certain that Heph knew her well enough to actually be in love with her. Yes, she was the expert on matters of the heart. But sometimes it was harder to judge than others. She did believe in love at first sight. Perhaps that was what this was.

We don’t want the others to forget that.” Especially not Hera. Dite wondered what the queen thought about the fact that Love had had both of her sons.
