The air around Sunshine grew cold and this made the air in the room cold as well. It was like the windows and doors had been flung open and the winter air invited inside.
Lisha and Warren looked back and forth, quietly waiting for the hammer to fall.
"Sit your balls down and do not talk to my wife like that." Hades barked, cutting through the tension on the room.
Cory backed away, walking backwards slowly, eyes moving between Sunshine and the hammer. Between Hades and Mrs. grinch, he preferred Hades. His wife was dangerous.
As he sat down, he asked himself if she would have really hit him with the hammer.
The room remained tense as Sunshine set her backpack and hammer gently on the table. Her voice was calm but edged with iron. "Is this about the snake?" She pulled the chair back and sat down.
Nods rippled around the room.
