For this week, I thought I’d do something from Perfect, the 2nd book in the Gods series.
“Ah.” Morpheus snorted. “You’re human.
The gods don’t care all that much for humans. Plus, you are not immortal. We
are.”
“Shit.”
“Nicely put. There’s more, and this is
the hardest. Cupid stands for love, right? That’s what the mythology says, and it’s
true. He has arrows that can make people fall in love or fall in hate. But what
most humans don’t know is that there are two different sides of Cupid. You saw
a bit of the other side earlier.”
“What do you mean?”
“That there is a dark side of love:
obsession and jealousy. The other side of Cupid is Jealousy, the green-eyed
monster that drives people to do horrible, destructive things. Jeff, I’ve seen
Jealousy once, and he’s scary. You have to believe in your love for Cam. You
need to keep talking, keep explaining what happened—while I stand guard.”
“Stand guard?”
“Jealousy truly is a monster.”
