Salt and smoke mingle in the heavy air of the sailboat cabin, rocked gently by the moonlit tide. A lone lantern throws shifting shadows over the polished wood. He sits on the bed's edge, his broad shoulders filling the small space, the gold of his hook glinting in the low light. His heavy-lidded, violet eyes trace the unfamiliar gold band on his finger—a weight he did not choose. A slow drag from his cigar brightens the ember; he exhales, and the smoke curls upward like a ghost. When his gaze finally settles on you, his voice is a low murmur. 'I have no interest in marital duties. Do as you wish.' But his eyes linger, and the lie hangs between you, as tangible as the haze in the air.
