Chapter 65: Chapter 65 : Back home

"Little dove?"

Persephone looked at Hades and nodded, "hey..."

The god sat down by her side, peeked at her pretty face with eyes of concern. "Tell me what bothers you. I thought that once this trail was over, you'd be in good spirits, or is the community service verdict getting to you?"

He moved his hand about to put an arm around her, but stopped himself after realizing they were in public.

"I know it's a little unethical but I can have it nullified," Hades mumbled with a sly smile, "all you have to do is say the word."

The god half expected Persephone to chuckle or pass a comment on his statement, but the goddess just sat there staring blankly at the space ahead of her, she probably didn't even hear what he had said to her.

"Persephone?" Hades moved a little closer.

"Sorry Hades," she responded. "I suppose I just have a lot in my mind."
