Drive<b>her </b>away? With her way of thinking, Cora thought opposed would most likely happen. That she, herself would be too clingy or smothering. Because it would be her first relationship in like...ever. With a the lonely life she's lived, she didn't think she would or could get rid of Athena even if she wanted to.<br/><br/><br/>But the thought of them being together that long...it seemed unreal. To be together at all was unreal. Core still thought she wasn't worth loving. But when Athena looked at her,  all she say was her overwhelming tenderness. Ae she dapped at her eyes, wiping away her tears and cleaning her nose like she was a child. She could tell Athena did see her as a child. But as a woman as well. It was strange , but endearing.<br/><br/>Being pulled from her thoughts by Athena touch, her hands grasping her own. She let her lead her again to the Loom. Holding her hand as she listened to her story about the comedian and his life.  It mad her feel a lot of things.  She could relate to his younger years and the need for something to tether her to the world so she wouldn't drift away from it. She felt the same way about music like laughter was to him.   When she talked of his wife, she really looked at Athena. The thought of her getting sick or hurt. It pained her heart to think of something happening to her Athena. Her, Athena? Was she hers?<br/><br/>Not too long she was done with the story, giving her a lot to think about once finished. But when she spoke directly to her, telling her of her fate if she continued to think that she was not worthy to love or to<b>be </b>loved.<br/><br/>Her head went down as she thought of this, feeling like she was about to be sent to her room to think about her life. But she felt her Goddess grasp on her chin, lifting her head up to look back into the beautiful abyss. She breathed deep as she kissed her again. When she asked her question.   She knew she was right. She shouldn't lock herself away anymore.<br/><br/>Still gazing into her abyss with a Athena's hands keeping her grounded.  She took a step closer. "Will you be their when I wake up?" Her eyes weren't pleading, but longing for the answer she wish to hear.
