Auden’s Blessing
“I want to go back.”
He let out a soft sigh, then lay sideways at the edge of the bed, reaching out to support her neck with his arm. “Close your eyes.”
It felt like magic—like a gentle, irresistible command. Frigga obediently closed her eyes.
He lightly patted her back.
Then she heard it—a soft, soothing melody. Listening more closely, she realized it was an Aesir lullaby.
Under normal circumstances, she would have been annoyed, accusing him of treating her like a child.
