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

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

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

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.

The end.
