We've had some awesome rainbows this week. Maybe something's about to bubble up out of my subconscious...nope, that was just my lunch settling. Excuse me.
"That's all I have to do? Give the guy some hope? Child's play." Tera snapped her fingers then yanked open the gates to Olympus and swished her red hair over her shoulder. It swept down her back, weaving into the strands of her matching aura.
"You're no child, Tera." Jean-Paul tucked his clipboard under his feathered wing. "This isn't as easy as it seems."
Tera rolled her shoulders and worked the kinks out of her neck. She linked her hands behind her and lifted them, stretching the taut muscles. Finally, she was getting out of that desk job.
"Trust me, Jean-Paul, I'd take a sea monster over having to answer to Eros. Did you know he put in a time clock yesterday? A time clock of all things! As if time has any meaning up here."
She tapped the envelope Jean-Paul had handed her. "I got it covered. Duncan McGinnis. He'll never know what hit him."
As Tera sailed into the stratosphere, Jean-Paul smiled at his favorite intern's departing aura where it streaked through the clouds. "Neither will you, Tera. Neither will…you."

Awesome!
