The Perfect Stranger

Category: Thriller

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

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

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

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

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

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

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

The end.
