Characters: Apollo and Cassandra Setting/Location: The lookout, at night Date & Time: Day 62, evening Warnings: Sexual tension Summary: Dinner. With some schmucks.
Cassandra was late arriving. It wasn't on purpose. It was due to her own hesitation. Cassandra just didn't know what to expect, meeting Apollo like this. Everything had changed. She had known, known before things happened in the shower, that they would. And, too, she had known that once she hesitated, once she stopped to think, that she wouldn't be able to stop.
