Papa who was laughing uncontrollably. It always happened that way when Artemis felt like she was spinning out of control. Spinning and rattling and shaking. Jostling from one thought to the next, while dedicating her energy to maintaining the facade of a placid lake, instead of using it to silence the voice.
Always her biggest mistake.
But her willpower was strong. And her irritation was stronger still.
"Did he know?"
It helped when the voice didn't answer. It couldn't answer. Even Artemis knew it was all in her head.
