"I didn't ask you to comment Ethan. So shut up."
"Sorry. I just wanted to make you feel a bit be. . ." he trailed off at the look Rupert gave him.
Composing herself, Jenny said, "Come on, let's get you home and out of those clown clothes." Rupert picked the sword up and moved to open the door for her. Jenny turned one last time to Ethan. "I want you to leave and stay away from us. Remember what I said about my people! If you ever do anything again to us, you'll pay." Her voice was steady and cold, as were her eyes as they bore into Ethan's.
He gulped again and nodded. "I understand."
"Good. Because my people are everywhere and their vengeance passes through generations, so if you bother us again, they will get you. . .one way or another." With that, she turned around and walked out of the room, followed by Rupert.
Back in the car, Jenny turned to Rupert. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. Thankful to be my old self again." He smiled at her. "Thank you Jenny."
She shrugged. "Yeah, well, I'm still peeved at you. But I couldn't very well leave you like that!"
He looked down at his hands. "I am very sorry Jenny."
"I know." She started the car and drove them home.
In the driveway, she said, "You go inside and take a shower and bin those clothes. I'll go and collect Meadow."
Later, Rupert and Jenny were sat together on the sofa, with Meadow cuddled in Rupert's arms. "It's so good to be able to hold her again," he said and smiled lovingly at his daughter.
"Hmm, well that should be an incentive not to go drinking with the likes of Ethan Rayne."
He looked at his wife. "I know I can't say this enough, but I really am truly sorry Jenny. I never meant for any of this to happen. I would never deliberately put you or Meadow through anything like that."
She looked at him. "I know. I think being turned into a demon was probably a pretty bigger punishment than my being mad at you anyway!" She smiled.
He shook his head. "Actually, not that I liked being a demon, but having you angry with me is one of the worst punishments in the world for my stupidity."
They looked each other in the eyes for a moment, before she leaned over and kissed his lips. "Ddoes that mean I'm forgiven?" he stuttered slightly.
She grinned at him. "Yeah." She snuggled closer to him and he smiled in contentment.
