Some stories never end, they even allow you to come back at any given time and take tiny peeks at the everyday lives of your heroes.
The loud crushing noises alarmed Psyche. She looked questioningly at Euterpe, who stared at her blankly.
āStupid wings! Stupid arrows!ā
She sighed. āIād better go find him.ā
She passed the nurse on her way who rolled her eyes at her. āSo full of drama, that boy; just like his mother.ā
āNurse,ā Psyche warned lovingly.
The nurse smiled raised her eyebrows in reply. āGood luck, child.ā
Psyche took a deep breath and entered the disarrayed room. Feathers were flying all over, pieces of broken vases and arrows were scattered all over the floor, and Eros was bending his bow, trying to break it.
Psyche rushed to his side, trying to calm him down.
āLove, whatās wrong?ā
He dropped the bow forcefully to the floor. āIām done with this! Tomorrow I am giving everything back to my mother.ā
She picked up a feather. āThere wonāt be much to give back, if you keep this up.ā
She took his hand in hers, trying to soothe him. āTell me what happened.ā
āIāve been trying to make a couple fall in love with each for almost a month now! Can you imagine? A month! But I either keep missing them, or making them fall for other people, and then I have to shoot them again with the silver arrows, in order to undo it!ā
āDo they know each other?ā
āThey pass each other on the street daily.ā
āAnd what makes them such a great match?ā
Eros shrugged. āThey look good together.ā
āSeriously? Thatās how you match people together?ā
āMore or less, yes. But if they already know each other, that helps a great deal.ā
āWhat happens if they are in love with other people?ā
āI donāt break up people who are already in love,ā Eros replied indignantly.
Psyche smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek. āI know you donāt.ā
For the first time, Eros cracked a smile. āI think I am going to need a new set of wings.ā
āMost likely,ā Psyche agreed. āAnd some arrows too.ā
āWhat am I going to tell my mother?ā
āThat you crashed into a rock maybe?ā Psyche replied, making him laugh out loud.
