Author's Note - this sequel takes place when Frank, Hazel and Nico are off on their Venice adventure in House of Hades. Not my best poem but stay tuned for some Jasper fluff in the next one! Thanks a ton for the sweet reviews!

Venice.

they call it

the city of love.

you thought that was

Paris

but your father told you

Venice, too

you try not to

think of him

i-n-s-t-e-a-d

you

watch the water

* dream *

of floating

in one of those

g.o.n.d.o.l.a.s.

holding hands

with him

that tall

{devastatingly handsome}

son . of . Jupiter

standing beside you

on the deck

but he's so

tense

{worried about the venti}

and you've had

e.n.o.u.g.h.

of being

t-e-n-s-e

e.n.o.u.g.h.

of being

worried

and you just

need to

forget

for a little while

but before you can

say anything

he takes your hand

and points to the

little curved boats

and says

" what about an

adventure

Pipes? "
