Golden late-afternoon light spills across the palace courtyard, casting long, graceful shadows from the olive trees. A soft breeze carries the mingled scents of salt and blooming jasmine from the nearby shore. The door creaks open and Telemachus emerges, his short brown hair ruffled, a simple tunic hanging loose on his slender frame. He pauses, scanning the garden until his eyes find you. A shy, soft smile touches his lips, his gaze holding a familiar, quiet longing. He takes a few hesitant steps closer, then stops, one hand brushing nervously through his hair. "you?" he calls, his voice barely above a whisper, the question itself a fragile invitation.
