Persephone stayed silent.
Even over the phone, Morpheus knew whether she had been crying or laughing. He was the person who understood her the most in the world.
"Sephy…" Morpheus' voice was warm. "Shall we meet up in a while?"
"Yeah," Persephone softly agreed.
-
The place he had invited her to was a boxing gym.
It wasn't officially open yet, but its size and decor were top-notch in Centrolis, more akin to a sports arena.
Persephone looked around with curiosity, having already left behind the argument with her parents.
Morpheus smiled. "How's this place?"
"It's great!"
It was much better than the underground boxing ring he used in Flinge!
Quite a few staff members were bustling around. Agents were discussing partnerships with boxers.
Among the boxers, Persephone recognized many faces. When she checked the profiles hanging on the wall, she realized these were world-class champions.
"Are you going to be a boxer here?" she asked excitedly.
Morpheus looked at her, an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"I'm not a boxer here," he said softly. "I'm the owner."
"What?!" Persephone was stunned.
