❛ the moment i knew i'd no choice but to love you. ❜
— Dr. Constance Morgan to Athena
Unreal, Unearth || Accepting
"You always have a choice, darling. Mankind does have free will." Well, to an extent, anyways. Things that were always meant to happen will happen, but that doesn't mean that people aren't free to live their lives how they choose.
Still, Athena grins, reaching over to gently push a piece of Constance's hair out of her face. Perhaps they were always fated to meet. Perhaps not. Athena doesn't pretend to know about any of that. Fate and prophecies and things that are meant to be are Apollo's area of expertise. She is a woman of logic, first and foremost, even if she is a god. She doesn't rely on fate as much as the others do. She never really has.
"I'm still glad that you love me, though. I love you, too."
