"Is she fucking smiling right now?" Asterion said incredulously, leaning over the edge of the balcony for a better look. She was. A big fuck you grin now stretched from ear to ear.

Hades's phone binged. "Medusa is offering two million drachmae for her." Asterion glared at the Serpent Queen's cameras above him and lifted his middle finger.

"Medusa says, 'If you kill her, I'll turn you into the world's ugliest birdbath' and what looks like a smiling poop emoji."

"Good luck to you, boss. I don't know what you see in that harpy," Vin said but gave him a wink where Ariadne couldn't see. Vin knew precisely what he saw in her. Asterion would be surprised if all his men weren't a little in love with her now, not to mention Erebus. Like he needed that headache.

"There's no one here. Let's keep moving," Theseus said and shot at the screens, destroying the workstation. "Stop! What are you doing?" Ariadne shouted. "I'm making sure no one can use that footage again." "You fucking idiot! We could have taken that back to Medusa."

"Ah, love, it makes it all worth it," Erebus sighed, clutching his heart. "I'm hoping that she dumps you for me when she sees me in battle." "Stab him if you like. I'll make sure he doesn't die," Thanatos offered. Erebus only laughed harder.

Minos's rooms were lit with candles, the Master of Assassins hating to sleep in the dark. Ariadne had laughed when Lia had told her about it, and then stopped when she realized why Lia would've known what Minos's bedroom was like.
