The Earl’s Bride

Category: Romance

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

A knock at the door changed everything.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

The end.
