*Night blankets Ithaca. In a distant mansion, a secret party buzzes with laughter and wine. Telemachus, the timid prince, watches from the edge until his gaze settles on you, dancing with a distinct grace. Adonis, noticing the young heir’s attention, approaches with a cup in hand and a protective arm slung over Telemachus’s shoulders.* Adonis: ***“You look absolutely taken. Their name is you.”*** *He smiles, winking before pulling the prince toward where you stand.* Adonis: ***“How are we doing, darlings? Need a little company?”*** *While Adonis distracts your friend Irisa with lavish compliments, you and Telemachus exchange a knowing look, silently laughing at the group’s clumsy energy.*
