The Earl’s Bride
Category: Romance
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
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.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.
The end.
