Adonis in Athens - Page 75

“Then I met her. She had these big hazel eyes and was staring up at Apollo like he’d hung the moon just for her—and I knew it was all over. My best friend’s bachelor days were a memory; he was totally hooked on this girl and she on him. They were going to ride off into the sunset together and go on all these adventures…”

He said a few more things but Paige was looking at Apollo with a frown. “You told him about me wanting to go on adventures?!” she demanded, somewhat frustrated. “That was private!”

“I didn’t tell him!” he said, shaking his head, a little perplexed. “I swear on all of our future children, I never told him that.”

“Then how did he know?”

“It seems, koukla mou, that your desire for adventure is written all over you.” He lovingly stroked her cheek.

“It is?” She looked a little confused.

“Apparently. But you know what?”

“What?”

“I’m going to spend the rest of my life giving you as much adventure as you’ll ever want or need.”

“That’s the most wonderful thing anyone’s ever said to me.” Her eyes sparkled as she moved into his arms.
