Chapter 24 A Perilous Breakout

• Aphrodite's Point of View

She was all alert and attentive; she saw all that I did, yet careful must be the word I had better be using since Zeus might catch me sneaking out, God knows what he'd do. But however much I wanted to ignore Hades, I could not— the story of everything was too heavy on me.
