Scandalous Part 4
"Is everything settled?" Ashtoreth asked Harriet as she walked into the house. Maggie was carrying her daughter and the men were busy bringing the bags into the house.
"As far as I'm concerned it is. I've got a room for Maggie and the baby close to yours so you can help out. And Thaddeus is handled." Harriet gave her a forced smile.
"Is everything alright, dear?" Ashtoreth put a hand on Harriet's arm.
"Until Thaddeus can appreciate the existence of his granddaughter and act accordingly, he will be staying in the guest house. He's not very happy about that." Harriet sighed heavily.
"Well, he can be not happy about it all he likes. It's his own doing, really." Ashtoreth would have to go have a word with Mr Dowling. "Now, why don't you go help Maggie get settled in. I'm sure you'd like to spend time with little Rachel." It still made her a bit misty eyed to know the baby was named after her.
"Thank you." Harriet smiled and met up with Maggie, showing her to the room she'd set up.
"You've got that look in your eye." Ezra said as he walked up to Ashtoreth.
"You can't even see my eyes so how do you know?" She looked at him over the top of her sunglasses.
"Because I know you. And it's an expression anyway. What are you going to do?" He never really was intimidated by Crowley in any form.
"Nothing for the moment." Ashtoreth sighed a bit. "I'm giving myself time to calm down so I don't do something really awful like slowly disembowel him or something along those lines." She clenched her fists and then let her hands relax.
"That's a very good strategy." Ezra put a hand on the small of her back and rubbed little circles. It tended to help her relax. "Let's get some tea and then we can talk while I start dinner."
"Of course, dear." Ashtoreth gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before heading to the kitchen. A little conversation with her husband would easily make her less likely to do something irreversible to Thaddeus Dowling.
