Crown of Thorns

Category: Historical

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

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

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

The end.
