could feel his anger like a drop in barometric pressure. I squeezed his hand and when he looked at me, I shook my head. This was my battle. He leaned back and inclined his head to me.
    “Odin’s just offering some comfort because Trevor took off on me.” I was used to Thor’s rudeness, so I could keep calm. Some small part of me actually welcomed it after the strange way Trevor had been acting.
    “ So why did Trevor run off?” Thor sat down on the end of the couch.
    “ We had a disagreement.”
    “ About what?”
    “ About none of your business, that’s what,” I raised a brow at him.
    “ Yet it seems to be Odin’s,” his eyes were starting to fill with lightning.
    “ Ah fuck, Thor,” both men stared at me with wide eyes. “Trevor proposed okay? I said I wasn’t ready and he got pissed. You happy now?”
    “ Why aren’t you ready?” The lightning immediately started to die down to little sparks.
    “ It’s only been a year,” I dropped my head to my knees.
    “ More than that since you bonded,” Thor corrected me and I looked up at him in surprise.
    “ I’m just not ready.”
    “ You’ll never be ready,” Thor’s voice was too sad to be concerned over Trevor.
    “ What’s that supposed to mean?”
    “ You pick things apart, Vervain,” Thor glanced at Odin uneasily but continued. “You need to find things to blame in case something does go wrong. Then you can say I told you so and be done with it.”
    “ I didn’t pick us apart,” I felt my teeth clench.
    “ Vervain,” Thor rubbed his forehead, “I came here to apologize to you tonight. I love you. I miss you but I want you to be happy. Why don’t you let yourself be happy?”
    “ So you think I should marry Trevor?”
    “ No,” Thor sighed. “Yes. Whichever makes you happy. Stop worrying about ifs and whens. Just do what feels right.”
    What makes me happy. What did make me happy? I frowned as I considered. Trevor made me happy when he wasn’t acting like a jealous idiot but would marriage to him make me happy? Maybe. Did I want little werewolf babies? Maybe not but then I wasn’t sure if I wanted any babies, werewolf or otherwise. Would waking up next to him every morning for the rest of my life, make me happy? I suddenly thought that it might.
    “ Alright,” I got to my feet.
    “ What are you going to do?” Thor’s face twisted into concerned lines.
    “ I’m going home,” I leaned over and hugged him tightly, letting myself remember us in a good way for moment. It had been so long since I held him. I inhaled his wonderful scent, felt the massive muscles under my cheek tense, and then I let him go. In every way I could. “Thank you, Thor and thank you too, Odin.” I turned and looked down at the one-eyed god who was still lounging against the couch.
    “ Before you go,” Odin got up, brushing off his jeans. “I was wondering if I could speak with you later.”
    “ Tonight?” I squeaked a little in surprise.
    “ No,” he smiled. “I was thinking later this week. I have something I need to discuss with you. It’s actually why I came down here in the first place.”
    “ Sure,” I nodded. “Um, why don’t you come by Moonshine on Thursday?”
    “ How about around seven in the evening?”
    “ That works for me,” I handed Odin a business card. “In case you get lost and have to call me.” I kissed him on the cheek and whispered, “thank you again,” before I turned and kissed Thor’s cheek too. “I told you when I left, I'd never forgive you.” His face fell. “But I think I'd like to make peace with you.”
    “ Peace then,” Thor pulled me into another hug before I could escape. “I’m always here if you need me, darling.”
    “ Thanks, Baby Thunder,” I whispered and pulled away before I embarrassed myself more.
    I made my way downstairs and through the “trees” that grew right out of the floor, passing the waterfall and the Froekn bouncers, to walk out the main exit. I walked round back,
