Summary
“But don’t you want to marry me?” he asked, enough of a lilt in his voice that he could beg off as teasing need be.
Penelope was too sharp to be fooled by his tone. “I believe it’s my father you’ll be needing to speak with about that.”
Or: Penelope is used to being outshone by her cousin Helen, and even Clytemnestra. Odysseus is used to having things go his way, through luck or cunning. They never realized that meeting each other would undo all of that, and themselves.

Summary
While boys and men were collected and sent to the front, the women stayed in the cities; kept the country afloat, factories alive, and made sure there was a country to come back to, whenever the war is over.
But not all women stayed in the cities.
Not in this story, in which Rasa sends Temari to war.

Summary
Some defense attorneys are so anti-prosecutor, they cannot hold an amiable conversation. Temari has never understood that perspective.
And, of course, she's always been told the old adage you catch more flies with honey. As though he'll work better with her if they're not arguing all the time.
That's why she's here and talking with him. That's why she's agreed to this single drink even after finding out who she'll be drinking with. That's why she's leaning closer and feeling the ache along the back of her tongue. That's why.
Like she's honey and he's something to be caught.
