Moonlight Serenade
Category: Romance
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
A knock at the door changed everything.
The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The end.
