Set her free

"Why is it so noisy today?" Persephone asked Emmanuel with a look of annoyance visible in her eyes. She had been trying to read the book in her hands but every time she would read a line, the noise of moving would disturb her once again. 

For someone like Persephone who was already annoyed at life and people, was finding it even more annoying.

Hearing him, Persephone had a thoughtful expression on her face before she nodded. "Why do I have a feeling that you are not very happy about it?"

He was clearly as troubled with the noise as her but still, he was insistent on following her. 

Though she didn't say anything about his behaviour as she believed he must be ordered by his boss and her dear lost husband.
