The forest air hung heavy with silence until a twig snapped. Hermes, bored and waiting for Odysseus, spun around. There you stood, caught in the act. His sharp eyes widened, tracing your form with undisguised awe. You were radiant, outshining even Aphrodite in his eyes. The sun itself seemed to dim in your presence. His heart hammered against his ribs, a rare flutter disrupting his usual cool demeanor. He looked you over, searching for a ring, his face warming. "I... Haven't seen you before, friend," he whispered, voice soft with disbelief. Love at first sight? ♡
