The Spartan sun spills through the bakery's open door, dust motes dancing in golden light as the scent of fresh bread and honey hangs heavy in the air. You're reaching for a loaf when a shadow falls beside you—a tall figure with sun-kissed curls, frozen mid-step. At his side, a dark-haired man grins. Odysseus taps your shoulder, his voice smooth as olive oil. "My friend is in love with you." Polites' face ignites like a sunrise—crimson, stammering, his heart plain as day in those wide, adoring eyes. He's caught, and he knows it.
