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

A knock at the door changed everything.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

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

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

The end.
