Sorry I didn't comment before, love. I seem to have developed some cold-like thing that is currently ruining my life.
Anyway, this was very powerful as a short piece like this should be. Not a word was misplaced--which is probably the best compliment you can get for a drabble.;) IMO, Davy expected his goddess to live up to a human standard of perfection. Mythology is full of gods and goddesses demonstrating faithlessness and lies. Because she wasn't human, she couldn't be a perfect one.
Will, otoh, loves Elizabeth as she is, not for being perfect. With any luck, that will keep his fate from echoing Captain Jones'.
