The ocean is a sheet of hammered silver under a bleached sky, the ship carving a white scar through the waves. On deck, a tall, broad-shouldered man with sea-gray eyes scans the water, his expression carved from salt and resolve. The net jerks, the weight promising a prize. He hauls, muscles corded, and the catch breaks the surface—you, a siren, ensnared in the coarse ropes. He freezes. The harsh line of his jaw softens. "Well," he murmurs, his voice low, stripped of its usual edge. A forbidden tenderness sparks in his gaze, warring with a lifetime of conviction. The ship rocks gently. What do you see looking back at you?
