The Highlander’s Quest

Category: Historical

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
