I thought I felt the fire. I thought I felt the touch. The wild fire of Aphrodite's touch. But it wasn't only Aphrodite.

Because then Artemis and Venus showed up.

I laughed with joy. With love. Your eyes were my hope and my future. Did you feel it? I knew I felt your soul before your hand ever touched me. Did you feel mine? I looked at our reflection in the van window. Your reflection, my reflection. I had the entire world. How could it get better?

It did. At the drop of a dime. Demeter showed up as I pulled you close for the last time. Still between your car and mine.

I cried on the way home. My heart was aching. I didn't want to leave you. But I knew I'd see you again. Very soon! From now on, it would be much more often. I vowed this. But behind us, On Water Street... The four of them knew. And they stood in silence, Demeter with a slight grin, watching us separate forever.
