Chapter 102 Midnight Secrets

• Selene sat cross-legged on her bedroom floor, brush in hand, immersed in her painting. A soft mixture of blues and greens spread across the canvas, capturing the quiet beauty of a forest glade. She found solace in these late afternoons, especially after the school day’s rollercoaster, including meeting Maris.
• Just as she was adding highlights to the trees, her mother’s voice called up from downstairs. “Selene! Dinner’s ready!”
• With a sigh, Selene set her brush aside and headed downstairs to join her parents at the dining table. Aphrodite was serving, and Zeus was already seated, looking over a document but putting it away as soon as Selene sat down.
