Re: Will You Keep The Secret

SpiritWolfe Wed 29 Apr - 16:02

"That isn't what I said," she whispered, nodding once. "I won't."

**BestNameEva** Wed 29 Apr - 16:10

"You didn't say anything."

SpiritWolfe Wed 29 Apr - 16:31

"What am I meant to say to that?"

**BestNameEva** Wed 29 Apr - 16:41

"Something that shows concern, or shock. Saying nothing at all just makes me feel like a crazy person, that's what Dallas doesn't seem to understand either."

SpiritWolfe Wed 29 Apr - 16:50

"Both of which wouldn't change anything at all."

**BestNameEva** Wed 29 Apr - 17:11

"It would though, to me it would. Do you have any idea how lonely it is, for the past that shaped you to be everyone dirty little secret. All I have ever needed, off of anyone, but especially you and Dallas is acknowledgement that it happened otherwise it is like you are saying its okay. Its okay he hurt me. Is it? Was it?"

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 12:40

"No, no, it's not. Hurting one another is never alright," she replied firmly, glancing towards her daughter.

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 13:13

Persephone just nodded subtly, swallowing thickly. Looking on the verge of tears.

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 13:18

Delaney frowned slightly reaching out to hug her if she would allow it. "I'm sorry, I really am. I'm not going to make excuses for the way I was fifteen years ago but I am honestly sorry."

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 13:26

"I lived life so scared for so long until I met Ariel's dad," Persephone whispered so only she could hear, accepting the hug. "Now he is dead and I'm scared all over again."

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 13:30

She hugged her tighter. "It shouldn't have been this way... "

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 13:33

"Just please don't tell Apollo about me being here, please."

Ariel watcbed the adults with a frowm, glancing over at Ripley.

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 13:42

"I won't. You have my word." she nodded.

Ripley shrugged her shoulder. "I think they know each other."

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 13:46

"Will that mean that we get to play with each other all of the time?"

"Thank you,"

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 14:00

"I hope so," Ripley beamed at her.

"You're welcome," she whispered.

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 14:03

"Do you and Ripley want to go out for dinner or something tomorrow night? A- and do you have Dallas' number, could I have it?"

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 14:21

"I would like that and I'm sure Ripley would too," she nodded. "Yeah, sure."

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 14:24

Persephone passed her a mobile phone, whispering, "Put your number in too, we'll arrange something proper later on."

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 14:37

Delaney took the phone putting both numbers into it before passing it back. "That sounds good."

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 14:42

Persephone nodded, glancing down to her daughter, "Come on Ariel, time to go back. It's time for both of us to have a nap. I'm exhausted so you must be."

"Okay," Ariel answered with a frown, allowing herself to be picked up and carried away.

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 14:59

Ripley watched them go, waving as they left.

"Alright you, go on and play. We need to get going shortly."

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 15:02

Later that evening...

Persephone sat on the edge of the bed her daughter was sleeping in, staring at the two new numbers that were in her phone, eventually clicking on Dallas' and putting the phone to her ear as it rang.

---
Apollo was in the kitchen of their home, cooking after working on the cars most of the day - meaning his hands were still dirty even as he cooked, never remembering to wash his hands thoroughly enough.

SpiritWolfe Thu 30 Apr - 15:27

Ripley rushed inside smiling brightly. "We're home, daddy!"

"Go on upstairs and wash up, Ripley, I'm sure dinner is nearly ready," she laughed heading into the kitchen.

-----
Dallas picked up his phone, answering after several rings not knowing the number. "Hello?"

**BestNameEva** Thu 30 Apr - 15:34

"Hey, you two, had a busy day?" Apollo hummed cheerily in greeting.

---
Persephone inhaled sharply when she heard his voice, whispering after a moment of silence. "I don't want to fight anymore. I miss you."

SpiritWolfe Fri 1 May - 12:43

"We went to the playground!" Ripley called from the bathroom where she was washing her hands.

----
"Persephone?" he whispered when she spoke. "I- miss you too. It was never my intention to fight with you."
