The Gardener’s Daughter
Category: Romance
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The end.
