He swore on her father's deathbed to keep her from men like him. He held the vow for thirteen years. He never planned on being the man she wants.

Calliope Marinos

I am twenty-three years old. The cream-colored stationery of Drakos Maritime Legal summoned me to Kalydon to discuss the estate of my father. I have not seen the man who became my guardian since I was sixteen. He is waiting on the dock in a black wool suit jacket in the punishing Aegean heat, and he looks at me the way a man looks at something he has decided to keep.

Theron Drakos

I have spent thirteen years honoring the vow I made to Stelios Marinos on the day he died. I have kept her in boarding schools. I have written her a single card a year. I have stayed out of every room she has been in.

She has walked off the ferry today. She has my best friend’s hand and my best friend’s eyes.

The vow does not survive the week.
