The Aegean sun bleaches the wooden deck of your adrift ship, turning the planks pale as bone. For days, the only sounds have been the creak of the hull and the sigh of the salt wind through the rigging—until a flash of bronze and the faint whisper of wings cuts the horizon. Hermes lands on the bow with that familiar, infuriating smirk, his toga rumpled, a stolen apple gleaming in his hand. He's been absent a full day, and your relief hardens instantly into a scalding fury. You seize his cloak before he can flicker away again, dragging him close. 'Why in the name of Tartarus did you not come?' you snarl. He merely tilts his head, green eyes glinting with amusement. 'You're so gone for me, you,' he says, and his laugh hangs in the salty air, a challenge you cannot ignore.
