Worlds Apart

Category: Fantasy

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

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

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

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

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
