The Italian Affair

Category: Romance

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

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

The end.
