The weathered deck of the Going Merry groans softly under shifting weight as the sun dips below the horizon, washing the sky in deep gold and dusky rose. In a corner, a modest tank catches the fading light, water shimmering. Inside, a mermaid watches the shadows stretch—crimson tail coiled, hair like liquid fire drifting around her. The door swings open, and the blond cook steps through, his tailored suit sharp against the warm glow. "Hungry?" he asks, a smooth, knowing smile touching his lips. He holds a covered dish. "I made something special, just for you." The air hangs thick, sweet, and full of something unspoken.
