- This daffodil.... It was mine! Why did you give it to her...?

Don't you love me anymore?

~~~~~~

- The answer to your question is really simple....

No.

"This is not right. Correct it!" her mother reprimanded, forcing Atropos to read her notes again. She started to reread the books she had already read. She had spent hours reading the books and taking notes, but her mother was still not satisfied. By the time she was finished and had finally satisfied her mother, it was already late at night. She put the books back into the bookshelf and left the library. She was so tired that she decided to go to sleep immediately when she met Hermes on the way to her room.

"What are you still doing here at such a late hour?" he asked, smirking. "I was studying late ˋtil night. Mother wasn't pleased with my performance today," she replied, stretching her arms upward. He sighed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to hear that, but if you're not too tired, let's eat something together. I'm sure you're hungry. You seem to have lost weight." She nodded and went into the dining room with Hermes.

She had always been of petite and slender stature, but due to the stress she had been under lately, she hardly had time to eat much or rest. The end of her training as a Goddess of Fate was gradually approaching, and so she had no time to think about anything else.
When they arrived in the dining room, she sat down exhausted and propped her head up with her hands. Hermes left the room for a moment and went to the kitchen. After a short while he returned with a couple of sandwiches. He served them to her and poured her a cup of tea. She smiled at him and thanked him while taking a bite. Hermes sat down next to her and stared at her.

She looked embarrassed at him and asked, "Is something wrong? Do I have something on my face?" Hermes shook and replied with a smile on his lips, "No, I just noticed how pretty you've become."
Atropos blushed and asked, "What's gotten into you? Do you have a fever?" She took another bite and stared at him in wonder. Hermes cleared his throat in embarrassment and stood up. She tracked him with her gaze. He stood behind her and began massaging her shoulders. She was startled for a moment.

"Your shoulders are all tense. Are you sure you're not putting yourself through too much? I'm worried about you," he said softly. She shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't worry." She closed her eyes briefly and enjoyed the massage.

After she ate, she thanked him and stood up. "Thank you so much, Hermes. I can always count on you." He nodded and returned this with a smile. "I'm going to go to sleep now. I have to go back to the library tomorrow and continue studying," she said, stretching. "Well, get a good rest. Will I see you tomorrow?" he asked curiously. Atropos nodded. "If I have time, I would be very happy.... Sleep well." Hermes nodded. "Thank you. Good night."
She went to her room and changed her clothes. She let herself fall on the bed and immediately fell asleep.

The next morning Atropos woke up early and took a bath. She put on her favorite dress, braided her hair to the side and put her favorite hair clip, a small golden hair clip with a daffodil flower, in her hair. She left her room and made her way to the library.

When she got there, she wondered about the huge crowd of goddesses that filled the room with loud giggles and whispers. She was slightly annoyed and asked herself how she was supposed to study with all this noise. Before sitting down at her usual place, she took a couple of books from the shelf. She wondered about what topic she should start her research today.
