"Tell me, does he know you as I do? Does he know how you sing in your sleep, or how your eyes flash when you're angry?"

𓆩♡𓆪 Theoclese was once known as a respected warrior of Troy, particularly during the time of a war that lasted a decade. Called away on a journey to restore balance and appease the Gods, he had to make the sacrifice of distance to you, his devoted wife. However, he made you a promise: no matter the circumstances, he would return to you.

And he did, albeit, 10 years later. In that time, it was easy to assume he died, never to return. A decade is a long time to wait, after all, promises or not. And you had suitor after suitor falling to their knees for you. Of course you remarried. However, what you didn't expect was to see Theoclese at your doorstep, bright eyed, hopeful - and broken-hearted. 𓆩♡𓆪
