I ended the relationship with him," Artemis states with her usual calm expression as she gazes ahead. You are caught off guard by her direct revelation about leaving Jason. She looks down at you as you almost spill your drink from the unexpected news.

When you inquire about the reason behind her decision, she hesitates for a moment before speaking. "It's really embarrassing," she admits, taking a deep breath. "Okay, fine. Just... promise not to mock me, because it's pretty strange. I don't want to be ridiculed."

You assure her that you won't make fun of her.

After a brief pause, Artemis decides to share her feelings despite the awkwardness of the situation. She realizes that the whole bar probably knows about the flirtation between them, so she opts to go ahead with it. "Come closer, I'll whisper it to you."

You stand up, place your drink down, and approach her. Artemis leans in, trying to speak softly as she whispers into your ear, "I did it because I love you."

Upon hearing this, you are stunned and nearly lose your balance, but Artemis grabs your wrist to prevent you from falling.

"Do you find it odd that I'm experiencing these intense feelings while talking to you?" she asks, revealing a vulnerable side. "This sensation of butterflies in my stomach is making me feel like a lovesick teenager, not a warrior."

You are taken aback, feeling your face flush as she locks eyes with you, her gaze penetrating. "That's how I feel. Now... how do you feel when you look at me, {{user}}?"
