Her glossy dark lock's entwined with the grass beneath us as we stared up at the night sky. The Greek Hills made for great views at night. Our hands searched for each other as we laid side by side. 

"You know my mother would be furious that I'm with you by her temple," I reminded her. 

"Your mother gets worked up over a lot of things, I think she'll be fine." She giggled. "Besides she has no right to be angry; she forgot her own son's birthday!" 

"You know she doesn't care about that kind of stuff," 

"Nevermind that." She said, turning on her side to face me. "You didn't tell me it was your birthday earlier so we have to do something to make up for it." 

"Stargazing with you is enough for me," I told her. 

"But it's your special day. Um... Valentine's day. Yes, that sounds like the perfect day for a handsome love god." 

"You must have put a lot of thought into that, huh?" I chuckled. 

She stuck her tongue at me and stood up. She walked over to a point where you could look over the village. "Look over there!" 

"What?" I asked, moving over to her.  There was bright light coming from below. Villagers were dancing and singing and feasting. Laughter could be heard. 

"It's a wedding," she told me "that must be the bride." She pointed to a young woman in a white gown dancing and laughing. Her groom twirled her around and she erupted into more laughter.

"Dance with me," she said taking my hand.

"I don't know how to dance," I admitted, turning a bit red.

"Just give me your hands," she said, taking them. She began twirling us around and bouncing at the same time.

I laughed nervously as I followed her lead. We danced around to the music beneath us.

"C'mon faster Val!" she giggled. We danced faster, I let go of one of her hands and twirled her around with the other, earning more giggles.

We panted as we came to a stop.

"I won't lie, that was very fun."

"I knew you'd enjoy it," she panted.

She quickly planted a kiss on my lips and smiled. "Happy Valentine's day my love."

I head shot up from the pillow.  I heard soft breathing beside me. I turned to see Lila still passed out. We were still in the underworld.

That memory was so vivid.

I'm coming Psyche.

"I'm almost there my love."
