"Deb!" Hera sprang up in front of the flower bed, waving excitedly at Deborah.

Deborah, who was walking on a loggia, stopped. She squinted her eyes as she turned her head toward the voice.

There stood Hera by the garden, adorned in a long dress with a hat perched gracefully on her head. The basket and gardening tools near Hera's feet revealed her recent activity.

"Come here, quick!" Hera called, motioning for Deborah to join her.

"I'll follow you in a bit," Deborah replied to the man walking beside her before hopping over the low concrete railing at Hera's call. "If anyone asks, tell them Hera called me."

The man glanced at Hera and nodded. "Don't force yourself to come if you can't. I heard she can be a little demanding."
