A knock at the door changed everything.

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

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

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

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

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
