The Earl’s Bride
Category: Romance
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
A knock at the door changed everything.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The end.
