The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

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

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

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

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

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

The end.
