Daniel's request to Persephone was quite simple.

"It's a small thing," he said with a smile. "I want to pick you up from school every day from now on."

"Hmm?" Persephone, being mischievous, furrowed her brows.

"Does that mean my dad and mom, Grandpa Zephyr, Grandma Cordelia, Grandpa Nicholas, and Grandma Linda can't come anymore?" she asked.

"Try to keep them from coming," Daniel said earnestly, making up excuses. "Think about it. Your parents are always busy with work, and sometimes they might forget to pick you up. Your grandparents, Zephyr and Cordelia, are busy running a cafe, and your other grandparents..."

Daniel hesitated, scratching his head. "Well, they're all busy too."

"So, you're the only one who's free?"

Daniel blinked and nodded.

"Alright," Persephone agreed. "But I have one condition."

"Oh? What is it?"

"You have to bring me delicious treats every day!" she stated.
