Bonus Episode 6: What We Don’t Say

Diana

I don’t say I love you often.

I don’t need to.

He understands it in every correction, every touch, every moment of control I offer him.

Love… is structure.

Beckett

I don’t say how much I need her.

Not out of weakness.

But because she already knows.

And because with her—

I don’t have to pretend I don’t.

Peresphone

They are… intense.

But stable.

That matters more than anything else.

Hades

Most families are inefficient.

Ours isn’t.

Diana

He calls me Mistress.

Not because I demand it.

But because he chooses it.

Beckett

She calls me her prince.

Not because I earned it.

But because she decided I was.

The Twins

They don’t say everything.

They don’t need to.

Because in this family—

Understanding was never spoken.

It was simply… known.
