The Gardener’s Daughter
Category: Romance
He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
The end.
