A Love Rekindled
Category: Romance
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
A knock at the door changed everything.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The end.
