Chapter 345

• -Lexi
• I asked the question that has been haunting my every breath. When I knew I was falling madly in love with Hades, I didn’t know how he felt about me. So I asked. I finally asked. And I’m terrified of the answer. But his gaze is so intent the entire world seems to stop. “You tell me, piccola. I never stop thinking about you. You consume my every thought. I worry about you all the time, every second of every day. I can never get you out of my head when every beautiful thing I see reminds me of you.”
• I can feel my heart racing at every word. He didn’t say the words. He didn’t say ‘I love you’ but they sure were a hell of close enough for me to know.
