What: Christmas Eve Supper -- Persephone has some news that is going to knock Hades' socks off, but he pops the question first
Where: Anne's place -- she hasn't quite inquired as to the move-in situation, given that there is a certain canine complication and she doesn't want to impose on poor Hades with an excitable pooch
When: Evening of 12/24

The place was decorated festively, twinkling lights of colors aplenty put up outside, some even decorating the garden, where everything was in bloom, despite the temperature and season, all things flourishing. And, indeed, it seemed more things had flourished than she had originally intended. Ironic. She grinned, almost nervously.
Inside, the scent of turkey and ham, stuffing and gravy, cranberry sauce and roasted potatoes, and apple pie filled the air. Everything was ready -- the dishes were prepared, candles lit for dinner, gifts laid out under a tree. Holiday music played in the background. Kerb barked excitedly at the scents that assaulted his sensitive canine nostrils, his tail wagging fiercely, looking at Persephone from time to time, as if to inquire about the timing of supper.
The Chthonic Queen had never been a pacer. But then, she'd never been one for apples, either -- she eyed the fruit in her hand strangely before taking a bite, as she paced, as if it would have a calming effect. It did not, though the taste was pleasant, much more pleasant than it rightly ought to have been. No, she'd never been one for apples. Or cookies and lamb kabobs, but that had been her lunch the previous day. She had never imagined that this could happen -- she'd stopped hoping centuries ago, had dismissed the idea entirely. She glanced at the clock, still pacing, trying to busy herself, to get her mind off her anxiety, off that strange mix of excitement and anticipation and nervousness.
What was she going to say to him? What would he think?
