It was different having Thetis speak to him as a man instead of this thing she greatly detested. He'd deserved that, and while he really wanted to rub her nose in it he decided that he would take her out for dinner. Like a husband should take out a wife. On a date without interruption or anger.
He straightened up his tie, he looked like he'd stepped off the red carpet. He was taking out a goddess, he had to look presentable.
Once he stepped in the room he could see her from a mile away. She glowed like the sun with her golden hair. For a second all words were lost and he was speechless.
