Jason stood in the temple. He knew that Ariadne would be along shortly, and was wracked with nerves. Jason had proposed to Ariadne many times before, but not out loud, only in his head. Each word of his speech had been well rehearsed, even though he knew that when he saw her, her sheer beauty would render him unable to get the words out.
When Ariadne stepped into the temple, a huge grin spread across her face. Jason had flowers, and she was pretty sure they weren't an offering to the Gods. Jason was quite taller than she was, and had a very trim, muscled body. When he looked at her, she had noticed, a red flush would creep up his neck. His big brown eyes looked at her dotingly, and he put the flowers gently on the floor whilst he pulled her into a huge bear hug. She giggled under his muscley arms.
The loving pair sat on the temple floor, laughing, smiling, looking into each other's eyes and talking about how lucky they were. They didn't need anything fancy, all they needed was each other. Eventually, after what seemed like minutes, but was probably hours, Jason stood up and held out his hand? Ariadne took it and he led her out of the temple.
'Where are we going?' She enquired, cheerfully
'You'll see' he replied, grinning.
After many stone steps, they got to the place that Hercules has told Jason about. Apparently his father used to take him there as a child, and Jason could see the appeal. It was high up above the courtyard, and have a wonderful view of the kingdom. It was dark now, but the nights here were warm and comfortable. The two sat with their legs dangling over the edge of the stone wall.
'Its beautiful' whispered Ariadne, staring dreamily into the distance
'And so are you' said Jason, chuckling as Ariadne's tanned face turned a deep shade of red.
'We know that your father has given us his blessing, and that we can live in the palace together. All is left is for me to actually ask you the all important question. Marry me.'
Even though she knew it was coming, Ariadne felt shocked when he asked her.
'Of... Of course I will' she replied, as Jason grinned down at her. The two kissed... and kissed... and kissed some more.
