Aphrodite spread her suddenly shimmering palm over Clestie s heart. The glow seemed to reach inside
Clestie s soul and awaken a dormant magic.
Hot and cold chills assaulted Clestie and she shivered uncontrollably. What s happening to me?
Leo slid his arm around her waist and lent his strength to her when she wobbled. She s helping you to
tap into your magic& so you can help me. He gazed down into her eyes with love.
Shaken to the depths of her being, Clestie could only nod. Her voice was playing hooky and refused to
come out of hiding. Finally it decided to cooperate and she squeaked out, So I really do have the
power? But what do I do?
Aphrodite glanced over her shoulder and then up at the heavens. She lowered her voice to an almost
inaudible hush. Officially, I m not allowed to help Leo.
Leo lowered his voice as well. Technically speaking, you re helping Clestie and then she ll help me.
Aphrodite s luminescence dimmed and her smile faded. I doubt Father or our dear step-mama will see
it our way. But I can t stand to see lovers fighting. Divorce is at an all-time high.
Tis very sad, Leo agreed.
They couldn t possibly be sadder than her. Sniffing, Clestie tried to check her tears. She reprimanded
herself for being so foolishly selfish. This wastheLeo, the zodiac constellation. He didn t belong solely to
her. He never could, even if he wished to.
They were asking her to give up her happiness for the greater good and so she must. But pain slashed
her apart and she couldn t breathe for the thought of never seeing him again except as lights in the night
sky. She tried to joke and ended up sounding flippantly cavalier. So do I just say abracadabra and
wave my magic wand?
Aphrodite quickly shrank to thimble size and perched on Clestie s earlobe. She hid herself beneath
Clestie s curls and whispered, Put your hands in Leo s and concentrate hard. Close your eyes and with
all your being, wish him to go home.
Clestie twitched where the goddess tickled her and chills coursed down her spine.
Aphrodite crooned in her ear, Now say, Go home, Leo.
Clestie couldn t let Leo go without one last final kiss of farewell. May we have a moment alone?
I wish I could suspend this moment in time just for you, for you truly touch my heart, but I must implore
you lovebirds to make it quick. No telling when daddy-dearest will pop up. He has eyes everywhere.
104 Heavenly Hijinks
Clestie tried to drag in air but couldn t fill her lungs. Too many words wanted to tumble from her lips,
too many emotions rioted in her heart and too many unsaid things clamored to get out. But her tongue
refused to work and her eyes stung with the force of bitter tears. So she lifted her tremulous lips and

stood on tiptoe until they touched Leo s.
Leo gazed down at her with heartbreaking pathos. He cupped her cheeks and caressed her lips with his.
His thumbs traced the line of her jaw. I have never met a woman so precious, so special, and my heart
will always belong to you.
And I ll never forget you, you big lug. Playfully, Clestie punched his shoulder, failing dismally in her
mission to appear blasé. The punch turned into a floppy slap, barely a graze of her knuckles against him.
Don t break down and cry.Don t you dare break down and cry.
She was a tough, self-possessed Scorpio, and she wanted him to remember her with her head held high.
She pushed out her breasts and squared her shoulders. She wanted Leo to remember her for all eternity,
long after she had returned to the dust of the earth. In this small way, she would be immortalized and
she did not want to be immortalized as a crybaby.
Against her lips he murmured as he sensually ground his groin against hers. Are you going to stay and
help run Petunia s shop?
She nodded. There was nowhere elseon Earth she would rather be. Only she no longer wished to be
on Earth,alone . Not wanting him to know how her heart was breaking, she faked a happy smile. Of
course.
Aphrodite popped back on her ear. No nookie, now. Wind it up. Trust me, you donot want to
experience the wrath of Zeus.
Did it really matter what Zeus did to her? But Clestie didn t want anything untoward to happen to Leo or
Aphrodite.
Clestie tried to be flip, to hide behind her abysmal sense of humor. It s been nice knowing you.

| Cytat |
Dobre pomysły nie mają przeszłości, mają tylko przyszłość. Robert Mallet
De minimis - o najmniejszych rzeczach.
Dobroć jest ważniejsza niż mądrość, a uznanie tej prawdy to pierwszy krok do mądrości. Theodore Isaac Rubin
Dobro to tylko to, co szlachetne, zło to tylko to, co haniebne.
Dla człowieka nie tylko świat otaczający jest zagadką; jest on nią sam dla siebie. I z obu tajemnic bardziej dręczącą wydaje się ta druga. Antoni Kępiński (1918-1972)
