The Offer

Hera noticed the irritation on Stephan's face but she couldn't care less. When he heard what she wanted to tell him, he would be even more irritated but glad eventually. Hera felt she had come to offer him something good but yes, in return for something from him. She looked at him and from his face, Hera couldn't see the weakness Kate had been telling her that he suffered. He looked as if he had rested well and was almost rejuvenated. This was someone who constantly had dark circles underneath his eyes and who couldn't sit up let alone walk for more than a given time.

But that wasn't what she was seeing right now.

"Are you sure that you're alright?" Hera asked again.

"I will walk you out of here if you have come to waste my time," Stephan barked. He had had it up to his neck and couldn't take it any longer.
