“How is it that I was meant for you?” Hades frowned. “We’ve discussed this.” “I just feel so…inexperienced. I am young and rash. How could you want me?” She could not know how those words hurt him. “Persephone.” He took her hands in his and spoke softly. “First, I will always want you. Always. I failed you here too. I was angry. I didn’t take care of you. I didn’t include you. Don’t put me on a pedestal because you feel guilty for your decisions. Just…forgive yourself so you can forgive me. Please.”
