Calanthe lay with Nikos’s sleeping body in her arms. Her own body was still and cold. So very cold.

And yet the night was warm.

She gazed with blank eyes at the white-painted ceiling. A single thought was circling in her head. Pulsing in her stricken limbs now slack and exhausted.

What have I done? Dear God, what have I done?

But she knew the answer. No matter how many times the question circled endlessly in her sleepless brain.

The fire she had let run so fatefully—so fatally—had burned away all sense. But now that fire was cold, cold ash.

Memory swept over her. Not of the night that had just passed, but of nights so long ago.

How many times had she held him like this in the aftermath of passion, his body deep in heavy slumber, still embracing hers? Countless times in that long-ago lost summer. Until the very last time...

But now... Now there was a new last time. There must be.

Slowly, she pressed her mouth to his sinewed shoulder as he lay half across her, making her farewell. What she had once thought she had with Nik had never truly been at all—nor was this true now. Carefully...very carefully...she eased her body from his, drew herself away. Got to her feet, swaying slightly, pushing back her loosened tresses, and reached for her discarded clothes.

And when Homer’s rosy-fingered dawn crept out over his wine-dark sea beyond the pebbled beach she had already gone.

Leaving Nikos to wake alone.
