Moonlight Serenade

Category: Romance

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

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

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

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.

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

The end.
