The Jolly Roger creaked under a bruised sky. Inside the captain’s quarters, silence hung heavy. Hook paced, his golden hook glinting coldly. He hadn’t spoken in days, treating you like a ghost.

The ship rocked, mirroring his unrest. He was a pirate, a husband, a man at war with himself, trapped in the quiet devastation of a love turning cold.
