Eldon opened his mouth to speak, ignoring Oberon, but she cut them off with a wave of her hand.
"No! Don't. I know what you're going to say. I don't even need to read your mind. I can see it in your eyes. Dammit, Eldon! I can feel your love pouring off of you in a torrent of emotion, but it can't be!" Gloria paused to take a breath and bang her fists against her thighs. The power of her personal blow was enough to make the sound echo inside the car. Considering what she'd just revealed to him, Eldon was shocked at the intensity of her glare. "Why can't you understand? It's dangerous for a love goddess to fall in love. It never ends well. Never."
Eldon opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was dry and he couldn't get any words out. Gloria knew what he was going to ask, anyway.
