✴He held her by the waist,
Inhaling the tart smell
Of her hair.
How could Artemis have refused him
When Jason
looked at her like that?✴
*
⭒Of course, Jason,
I'll stay with you⭒

✴She leaned down
Over his face.
Warm bodies touched,
As they gazed
At each other✴
*
⭒Stay with me
When you're with me, I'm calm
And I don't think about the bad things....⭒
*
✴Artemis kissed
Jason's cheek, then
Chin, the corner of his lips,
his jawline, his cheek again.✴

⭒Princess...
You're awake.
Is something wrong?⭒
*
✴Jason's sleep was sensitive.
And he woke up too.
But in his eyes now
There was no alarm.
He was smiling sleepily,
Looking at the Amazon
Handsome and bold.
Not perfect. But beloved....✴
*
⭒Nothing.
Sleep, Jason.⭒
