Hera felt a lump form in her throat at Leo's words, a sensation akin to being choked by her own saliva. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was akin to a courtesan, with multiple suitors vying for her attention, yet she remained indecisive, leaving them dangling on a thread while she relished in the attention and pursuit.
Observing Leo's pitiful expression and his willingness to accommodate Hera's needs, her heartstrings were effortlessly tugged. It seemed as if Leo possessed an innate understanding of Hera, knowing precisely when to assert himself and when to retreat, allowing her the space she required. His intuitive approach resonated deeply with her, fostering a sense of connection and trust.
