The clock was ticking.
Chloe had a month left on her year in hell and she had a decision to make.
Would she stay in hell or would she return to Earth? She was still undecided but she did know one thing.
She wanted Lucifer in her life.
They had been sleeping together for eight months and she had yet to tell him that she loved him. She had been playing her cards close to her chest and waiting for him to say the words first. She had crushes before sure. She had even been infatuated, but what she felt for Lucifer trumped all of it. She had never known anyone like him and humans paled in comparison.
Once you go devil, you never go back.
The thought of leaving him tore at her heart. She didn't hate hell but it was literal hell. A lot of days she was bored out of her mind when he was off working. He was the only incentive for staying here. Yes, technically here she was a queen and the demons had come to respect her because she helped mellow Lucifer out a little. Except Maze, she hated that part. Even being queen didn't make this place her home. Her home was on Earth. Her mother and her didn't always get along or see eye to eye but she was the only family she had left. She couldn't leave her alone after the loss of her dad.
She didn't want to leave Lucifer alone either. She knew how lonely he'd been down here alone, that the loneliness was what prompted him to make her the deal he had to begin with. If only there was a way to have the best of both worlds: Lucifer and Earth.
Wait a minute.
