Piper stared at her food. A simple PBJ, that was apparently far more interesting than the supermodel sitting next to her. Jason fixed her with his heart melting blue gaze.

"Pipes, what bugging you?" Piper shifted uncomfortably.

"It's nothing." Jason wasn't having it. He leaned closer, His eyes were troubled. They seemed to ripple like the clearest spring. Did he know the affect those eyes had on her? Making her want to do anything and everything to bring them peace? Her charmspeak was nothing compared to this.

"Piper." He pressed. Piper had to fight with every fiber in her being not to tell him everything. She just couldn't. If Jason found out he'd go all noble and piper would never ease her guilt then. Plus she hated the idea of scaring her seemingly un-scarable boyfriend. Even Jason couldn't be brave knowing about his own imminent death. Looking at him Piper couldn't picture him afraid, but it wasn't a risk she was willing to take.

"It's fine. Nothing is bothering me. Let's all just forget about this and move on." Piper didn't mean to charmspeak him, but she couldn't help it. Some part of her subconscious knew Jason wouldn't leave it alone otherwise.

"OK. But you know you can tell me anything." Jason might have believed his own words. But he had no idea how wrong he could be.
