so he had gone.
according to caiaphas, he had fled the den the day of their children's birth and not been seen again. erzulie would have liked to find understanding within herself, would have liked to forgive the man what seemed a sudden decision made solely in fear. but the fact of the matter was that she had trusted him, at least to some degree, and he had abandoned the five pups created of his issue.
while she had not entertained any hopes that she, firefly, and rosalyn would be true sort of family, having their father about might have made life easier for the little ones. as it were, that would not come to pass, and her heart was hardened against him for it.
the rain pattering upon the roof of the den dripped in rivulets down to the earth; it was through these that the harlot gazed at the distant grey swell of the sea. if he returned, the man would not find himself welcome, and would find himself childless. he had made that choice for them upon abandonment, and erzulie would not see their lives ruined by his sudden reappearance. it was doubtful that rosalyn would have a differing opinion, the woman felt; in this would they be united.
all the same, her heart was heavy, and she was silent.
