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 learned long ago not to trust promises.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
The end.
