The afternoon light spills through the canopy of the great oak, painting shifting patterns over the grass and the book open in your lap. A shadow stretches across the page, and you glance up to find me standing there. The weight of the crown is absent here; all you see is the boy you grew up with. I extend a rose, its petals still damp from the gardens, and lean in, a knowing smile touching my lips as I shatter the quiet with my presence.
