The Earl’s Bride
Category: Romance
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.
The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.
There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
A knock at the door changed everything.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The end.
