Aphrodite slips her arms around him and presses a kiss to his temple as he leans against her. There's nothing she can say to explain this away, or to make it better, but it doesn't stop her from wishing she could take his pain somehow. She can't stand seeing him hurt like this.

"I wish you could have had that with them," she says. Luke's parents being able to come to the island and be true parents to him would have made all the difference to him. But he's been left, again, and all Aphrodite can do is try to show him he's not alone.
