I put a hand on his cheek, forcing him to look back at me. "You know that's not what I meant. You. I don't want to lose you. I don't want to be with you as your Hera. I want to be with you as the girl who finally opened her eyes to the kind of relationship we've always had. I know I'm stubborn, but if there is one person who's always made me feel safe enough to be vulnerable, it's you. That's the man I don't want to lose."
