Lovely War

In this second Entr’acte, the Olympians narrate events in the lives of various characters.

Apollo: Aubrey travels with the band to Nantes but doesn’t play with them as they perform to rave reviews.

Aphrodite: Hazel and Colette board a train for Paris. They joke about the backstories of the other train passengers. Hazel is nervous and excited to see James.

Ares: James travels to Paris from the front. He is shocked by the beauty of the countryside away from the trenches. Exhausted, he sleeps.

James and Hazel nervously wait for each other at the train station in Paris. James sees Hazel and is stunned by her beauty and by the fact that she is waiting for him. She turns and sees him.

James and Hazel hug emotionally. James buries his face in Hazel’s hair, amazed that she is there with him. Hazel correctly guesses that James is starving. Smiling and blushing, they decide to get food.
