With sad brown eyes she kissed him goodbye. They hated goodbyes, even though they happened once a year. Though he didn't like hugs, she always gave him one.
"I'll be back in six months. You won't even notice that I'm gone," she promises as they pull apart.
A sad smile is on his weathered faced. "I always notice when you're gone, my Persephone."
Gently, she cupped his cheek with her hand. "Close your eyes," she whispered as her lips brushed against his.
Exasperated, the Lord of the Underworld did as he was told. With eyes closed he accepted one last kiss, before he felt his wife's prescence leave their home. Eyes cracked, he spotted Cerberus at his feet. A sadness filled him, his shoulders fell as together he and his dog moved back inside to wait for six months.
