Piper leaned toward {Jason}, her caramel braid falling over her shoulder. Her multicolored eyes made it hard for him to think straight.And where is this place? she asked.A . . . uh, a town called Split.Split. She smelled really good-like blooming honeysuckle.Um, yeah. Jason wondered if Piper was working some sort of Aphrodite magic on him-like maybe every time he mentioned Reyna's name, she would befuddle him so much he couldn't think about anything but Piper. He supposed it wasn't the worst sort of revenge.
Piper's presence captivated Jason as her colorful eyes distracted him from his thoughts. She leaned closer, her braid brushing against her shoulder, and inquired about their location, sparking a moment of connection enhanced by her pleasant scent reminiscent of honeysuckle. Jason found himself struggling to focus, questioning if Piper’s charm was intentionally influencing him.
As he responded about the town of Split, Jason couldn't shake the suspicion that Piper might be using some form of enchantment. He considered whether her allure was a playful twist of fate, making it harder for him to discuss Reyna without being entranced by Piper's beauty. This whimsical thought led him to recognize the complicated dynamics at play, leaving him both intrigued and amused by the situation.
