Persephone's Cage [Connor Stoll]

Epilogue

Months had passed since her quest. Lilly was currently sitting in front of the strawberry fields, a big smile on her face. In front of her, a flower was planted by a bush. The lily was a beautiful yellow color, and it clashed against the fields of red, but Aiden would have wanted to be here.

"I knew I'd find you here." She spun around, and her smile grew, if that was even possible. "Is that Aiden?"

Lilly nodded. "He loved the strawberry fields. He spent all his freetime here, so I figured he'd like it."

Connor brought the girl into his arms planting a small kiss on her head. "You're wrong." He said, and watched the happiness fall off of her face.

"What? What do you mean?"

"He'd love it."

"You jerk!" Lilly pushed him away from her, laughing. "Gods, I thought you were serious."

Connor laughed with her. "Since when have I ever been serious?"

"You were pretty serious when you asked me out."

"I was nervous! That's different." The boy whined. "Why're you being so mean to me?"

Lilly cupped his face, bringing him down to her height. He closed his eyes, prepared for a kiss, but she placed a strawberry in his mouth. "Because you're fun to tease."

"I'll get you for that one, Dixon!"

"Sure you will." Lilly laughed, before bringing him in for a real kiss. "You're the dumbest person I know."

Connor smiled down at her. "Yeah, but you love me."

"I guess I do."
