Patience was a virtue Apollo had never even pretended to have. Waiting for Adrestia to get in touch with him was maddening, and he'd actually given thought to showing up at the garage. Only the thought of actually seeing Ares, and probably having to speak to him, kept Apollo from doing so. Getting anywhere near his brother was not conducive to a pleasant mood.
He was expecting a phone call or text from his niece, and was surprised to have a card delivered to his door. The note requested his presence in one of Labyrinth's private dining rooms along with the time and a reminder of just how much he owed his niece. Grinning, Apollo tossed the card on his nightstand and headed for the shower.
An hour later, Apollo was more or less ready. In deference to his brother's dress code, he was wearing crisp black trousers and a white dress shirt, but not even Dionysus could force him into a tie. Snagging the black jacket that went with the suit, Apollo slid it on then shifted himself to the appointed dining room.
And stared.
The private dining rooms were always impressive, but the staff had gone above and beyond. The table was laid for two, candles adding a warm glow to the ambiance. Soft music played in the background, and the number of flower arrangements made Apollo wonder who had died. Confused, he wondered just what had gotten into his niece when it hit him.
"She fucking set me up on a date."
He was going to kill Adrestia when he saw her again. Cheeks pink, he tracked down their waiter for the evening and managed to get rid of the flowers, though the man balked at removing the candles. Apollo was in the process of describing exactly where the young man was going to find those candles if he didn't get a move on, when the soft ding of the elevator just outside announced Jason's arrival. Glaring at the hapless waiter, Apollo rolled his shoulders to remove the residual irritation, an unexpected nervousness setting up residence in his stomach as he waited for Jason to enter the room."
