I looked to my left, to Percy, and wondered at the silence. "Hey Percy?" I asked quietly, gently entwining our fingers. "The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting. Could it be that we have been like this before?"

He nodded and said, "I...I know that you don't think that I am trying. I can tell you're wearing thin down to your core."

"Yeah, the arguing is quite draining, but tonight might be the night that I will fall for you."

"Over again?" He teased.

"Don't make me change my mind. The apartment is in my name bucko."

"If you do that, I won't live to see another day." He said it with the utmost seriousness and sincerity.

"Why?" I was nervous because he's rarely serious.

"Because a girl like you is impossible to find." He looked at me. "This is not what I intended. I swore with our vows that we'd never fall apart. And I know that we both thought the other was stronger. I may have crushed that but you should know that I have loved you from the start."

I gave him a hug and took a deep breath in, trying to calm the tears. "Percy," I mumbled into his neck. "I'm yours to keep. And hold onto your words because talk is cheap. But...remember me tonight, when you're asleep."

He drew back and asked, "Why would I need to remember you tonight? It'd be pretty stupid while you're next to me."

"I'm going to live with Hylla and Apollo for a few weeks until you decide what you want. I'm not going to be a play thing. Especially not yours when you mean so much to me." I kissed his collar bone then went to our bedroom. When I came back out, I had my suitcase and ticket in hand. "Goodbye Perseus…" I walked out the door and didn't look back.


Loosely tied to "If She's Not Here The Sun Don't Shine".
