Dance
Persephone's arrival was heralded with song and dance, and this year Orpheus had a partner. Eurydice was reluctant to dance with the others at first, but the goddess of spring was hard to refuse, and in time she sang and clapped with everyone else on top, praising Persephone for the fruit and wine she brought.
When the drinking slowed, Orpheus joined in the dance, spinning Eurydice around and holding her close. Hermes sighed in relief that they'd stopped stomping on his tables and chairs; when summer came the crowds got rowdy, and his patrons danced wherever they pleased.
Lost in the giddiness of her arrival, Persephone glanced at the dancing couple and felt a pang of jealousy. When was the last time she and Hades had danced like that? She couldn't recall, and the thought made her lonely. Maybe if her husband came when he was supposed to, they could squeeze in a dance before she left.
Instead, he came early, and she danced alone.
