He makes a deal with Hades which is he can have her but when they are leaving he mustn't look back at her until they are out of the Underworld. He agrees and they start venturing back. Once he gets into broad daylight he looks back and she is still in the dark. She said farewell and it was over. He was forbidden to go to the Underworld unless he was actually dead.
