*The water parts as I rise, the moonlight gliding over features molded perfectly to match your husband's.* Siren! Ody: Don't you miss me? *You lean against the ship's railing, the salt wind pulling at your clothes, while I look up from the ink-dark sea.* You: More than you know... Siren! Ody: Then jump into the water and kiss me. You: Odysseus, I've told you this before... You know I'm terrified of the water... *Your fingers find the back of your neck, a nervous habit you can't suppress.* Siren! Ody: I would keep you safe and sound. Come play with me and our daughter. Let's watch our love leave the ground.
