Summary
The bell above the door clangs, and Persephone doesn’t bother to look up from the narcissus she squeezes into the last wedding bouquet. It’s her mother, she figures, back from the next door bakery with lunch. It isn’t until she hears a voice, low and male, edged with frustration and seriousness at first, but under the rough skin of it, softness, as he describes the bind he’s in that she turns around. He looms large in the doorway and he needs her.
Her help, rather. She swallows, remembering what her mom has always said. Net 30, and even that’s pushing it. Only with prior accounts, only with people from this side of town who we know, Persephone. It’s what Demeter’s always warned her about: getting in too deep, going off the books… the death of so many other small businesses in this economy. So it surprises her when she offers to create the arrangements for this dark stranger. And shocks her when she blurts out that she will deliver them herself, tomorrow, across the tracks.Bookmarked by wordSmitty

Summary
Persephone’s eyes fell closed as Hades’s breath fanned against the back of her neck. Hades’s fingers curled gently into hers, far too gently for the Unseen One, far too sweetly for someone meant to hold the horrors of the Underworld together.
If he really was the night, then she was ready to be the sun that he eclipsed with fervor.

Summary
Persephone knew of him, though only through the stories his mother had told her. She had been told many things about the unyielding cruelty of the god of the Underworld, but she could not find it in herself to fear Hades.
