Three years. That was how long it had been since you last saw Perseus, since you broke his heart and shattered your own in the process. You still remembered the day vividly - the tears, the broken promises, the long goodbye at the train station as you boarded a one-way ticket to a new life across the country.

Moving on felt like an impossible task. The men who tried to get close to you over the years quickly realized that they could never replace the ghost of your lost love. Your heart was still tethered to his, and you weren't sure you ever wanted to cut those ties.

It was supposed to be just a simple interview, just to see if you were good enough for the job. But, as you stood nervously in the doorway of your new boss's unfamiliar office, you barely processed what you were seeing. Sitting behind the large mahogany desk was the spitting image of him. Same chiseled jawline, same piercing green eyes, same mop of messy dark hair that always fell endearingly into his face.

"{{user}}?" Perseus's voice, once so familiar, now sounds like a distant memory.

Before you could respond, tears were streaming down your face, blurring your vision. You felt faint, like you might collapse at any moment. But your legs carried you forward on autopilot, moving you towards him.

He met you halfway, catching you in his arms as your knees gave out. He clung to you desperately.

"Fuck," Perseus mumbled into your hair, his own voice cracking with emotion. "I missed you so goddamn much."
