The Gardener’s Daughter
Category: Romance
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
A knock at the door changed everything.
The end.
