"I don't know. Of this... of us. Of everything changing..."
She sat up slightly, her hand cupping his cheek as she looked at him. "We work, love... We fight, and we argue, and get annoyed at each other, But it works. We work at it, because it's you and me, and together no one can stand in our way. They can try to keep us apart, or make me marry Hephaestus, or whatever else, but we don't let them. What if... what if that defiance matters? What if getting married, and being together with nothing else in the way... what if that changes things? And we're still not happy, and don't trust each other, and it's just not right, and I don't know how to fix it, and it scares the hell out of me that we're going to do something and nothing will work any more."
She tried.. .she tried desperately, but about have way through the words the tears started, starting simple and turning to sobs by the time she was done. she dropped her hand, her face going back into the crook of his neck as she shook, annoyed at herself for it, tears and confusion and all.
