Chapter Twenty

Dionysus watched as Triton paced in his private residence on the third floor of the Bed and Breakfast. Sophia had left them to their own devices in order to take care of some arriving guests. The private area was modern yet warm and comfortable with a nautical theme that seemed to repeat in the entire apartment. It wasn’t large, but since the couple probably spent most of their time on the lower floors tending to the guests, a small private space was all they needed.

“I think we can eliminate the possibility that you lost your memory because you hit your head.”

“But I probably did hit my head,” Dio protested.

“Which wouldn’t have lead to amnesia. A god can’t simply be injured like that. We are immune to mortal illnesses.”

“But I was bleeding.” Wasn’t that considered a mortal injury?

“We inhabit mortal bodies that function just like any other body. So we bleed, we eat, we drink; our beard grows. But we’re able to heal this body with our godly powers. Any injury is fleeting,” Triton explained.

“Then what’s wrong with me?” Being a god sounded cool, but what was the point if he didn’t remember anything about his life or what he was capable of?

“We’ll figure it out.”

Dio nodded and rubbed his hand along the back of his neck. “What’s it like to be a god?”

Triton grinned. “You love it.”

He couldn’t stop his own grin from bursting from his lips. “I do, huh?”

“There’s nobody else who makes being a god as much fun as you do.”

“The god of wine, huh, no shit!” Then he remembered something. “I suppose that means I don’t have a drinking problem, do I?”

“Why, for Hades’ sake, would you have a drinking problem?”

“Ariadne, my fiancée, she thinks so. She dragged me to the AA meeting the other day and—”

Triton’s laughter interrupted him. “Okay, there are two things fundamentally wrong here: first of all, you don’t belong in an AA meeting, and secondly, you don’t have a fiancée.”

Dio’s body stiffened. “I agree with you on the AA meeting, but Ari and I, we love each other.” There was just no two ways about it.

“Love?” Triton took a step closer and shook his head. “Dio, I’m your friend, so don’t take this the wrong way, but you’ve never loved anybody but yourself.”

“No!” He loved Ariadne, and nobody could convince him otherwise.

“And I guarantee you that you’re not engaged. Whoever this Ariadne is, I’m telling you she’s an imposter.”

His Ari was lying to him? No, he couldn’t believe that. He didn’t want to believe it. “If you’re trying to drive a wedge between me and Ari then you and I are no friends. Do you get that?” He glared at Triton, intent on making him understand that he wouldn’t give her up. There had to be some misunderstanding that would soon clear itself up.

“We’ve been friends ever since we were toddlers, and you would let a woman come between us? Do you want me to tell you who you are?” Triton didn’t wait for Dio to respond.
