Persephone could tell that Harriet already approved of her fiance and was quite glad of it. She'd had her worries, of course, she'd be a fool to expect everything to turn out perfectly, but now she saw things were falling into their rightful places. She and Harriet headed up toward the house, chattering about what had happened in each's lives since they last saw each other, and as Persephone started forward, she slipped her arm through the crook of Donald's, offering him a sweet smile. Harriet remarked something about a flock of pigeons at the park the other day and Persephone turned her gaze back to her sister.

The doors of the home swung open as they approached the front steps and the Blythe butler, Tennison, welcomed the trio inside. Persephone hadn't always gotten along with Tennison, as he was a stickler for the rules her parents laid down and she was quite the opposite as a child; still, she was glad to see him and told him so. He thanked her and replied the same, and Persephone felt more grown up in that moment than she had in a while, excluding when she accepted Donald's proposal. Her mother, Alexandra, was the first to greet Donald with a smile so bright Persephone wondered if she was happier to see her fiance than her own daughter. Her father, Wentworth, stepped up and shook Donald's hand next, and Persephone was satisfied to see they seemed to like her fiance at first glance.
