A Love Rekindled
Category: Romance
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.
There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
The end.
