The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.
But my breath stalled when I grazed the cool metal on her finger and when I looked down at that fucking ring, my heart stopped.
Now, sheās back in town and after five years, I had no idea whatād happened. Instead of her husband standing by her side, holding her hand, there was a little girl. The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.

Excerpt
āI loved reading about Greek mythology the most when I was
in high school.ā
I turned toward Melanie who was staring at me. I wondered how long sheād been looking on or more so. How long ago did she move her chair to the side of the table, so we were sitting next to each other, rather than across from each other?
āIām a huge fan of Greek mythology myself,ā I respond.
āYou are?ā Melanie cocked her head to the side. A look of disbelief crossed her face and I tried not to laugh.
āI am. I loved studying about it in college. I took a couple of Greek mythology classes between History and Literature. I even took a Latin class as well. The culture intrigues me.ā
āSame here. Anything I can get my hands on I love to read or watch about.ā
āIf thatās the case, I have a comic Iād love to show you. Itās about Persephone and Hades.ā
Melanie quickly put her drink down and placed her hand over mine.
āWait!ā There was a stunned look on her face as she reached into her back pocket, bringing her phone out. It was only seconds before she was shoving the device in my face, showing me exactly what Iād been about to tell her.
āYou mean Lore Olympus?!ā
āYeah,ā I laughed at Melanieās enthusiasm and when she pulled the phone away, I saw a genuine smile plastered across her face as she looked at me.
āItās one of my all-time favorite comics and itās not just the story but the illustrations as well. Itās just so cool to see the story come to life in a different way than just words or even so, the way most people read about it.ā
āExactly. We can see these Gods in our time and see them be almost human for a second. Itās quite a refreshing rendition to the Greek mythology world.ā
āDid you see it was being optioned for a show too?!ā
āI had not but that sounds exciting. I wonder if it will be animated the way it is in the comics or if they are going to change it.ā
āI hope theyād keep it the way it is but if anything, seeing that story come to life would be amazing to watch.ā
āI hope you wouldnāt make me watch it alone.ā
It was a long shot but I stuck the comment out there in the open, hoping with how this coffee date was going, Melanie would sink into the words and move this in the direction I wanted it to go.
āSmooth move there, Jack.ā She shook her head and leaned in closer to me, just like she had at the bar. āI said this wasnāt a date.ā
āYet here you are in a dress, sitting next to me, giving me the smile Iāve been so desperately wanting to get from you.ā
āMy smile?ā She moved her hand to her lips and looked down at her drink.
I reached out, tucking my fingers under her chin and lifting her head up.
āYouāre smile, Melanie.ā I gave her a small smile myself. āSince Iāve known you, Iāve never seen the smile you give others directed toward me. Now, youāve given me a smile that Iāve never seen you give anyone else.ā
