She is a daughter of Aphrodite at heart.
Piper McLean wonders what is so special about a son of Jupiter, what talents he could possess that allows him to crawl under her skin, into her heart, and make a home there. Perhaps it is his looks—he is quite attractive, with those sky blue eyes that pierce into her soul. Or maybe her personality won her over—has she felt so deprived of her father's love that she will fall for anyone of the opposite gender who is polite and dedicated? (She researched inferiority complex once, and Piper decides on and off that she has it.)
Still, she falls head-first into love, and scowls. It's an out-of-sorts thing for her to do, but she can't tell what is real anymore—and, for all intents and purposes, she needs this to be real. Piper doesn't know what she'll do if it isn't. She is, after all, a daughter of love. And who ever heard of a daughter of love being heartbroken and not having any affections returned?

He is a son of Jupiter, a man of Rome—full of honor and courageous to a fault.
Jason Grace doesn't really understand love. He's a serious and dutiful leader, which means he doesn't need distractions like love. But there's an image of a girl in his head, he can't put a name to her face, and it makes his heart beat faster in his chest. When he tries to think on this, his head hurts and—no, love is not for leaders, and certainly not for Roman leaders.
Passion, perhaps, would be a suitable replacement. Jason wonders what he feels when he sees Piper, since he cannot tell nor understand the differences between love and passion. His heart beats in his chest, true, but with Piper his mind goes fuzzy and it doesn't matter about his past, just the present. It's hard to think, to form coherent sentences and words and thoughts and actual dialogue—and, even though he is a leader, he needs her by his side, even if this hinders him.
He wonders what those from home would think at this—a great man falling to his knees at the word of a beautiful woman—and decides that, surely, they would presume him spellbound. They, of course, would be correct.
