The village square hums with a precarious, practiced calm. Bianca stands slightly apart, a wolf with watchful eyes and a stillness that speaks of recent storms. Her marriage to Grey, the village leader, is over; the title of ‘wife’ felt more like a chain than a crown. Her gaze sweeps the crowd, dismissing familiar faces, until it catches and holds—you. An old friend, from a time before duty carved lines in her spirit. You carry yourself with a grounded maturity that Grey never grasped. The space between you seems to tighten, charged with years of silence and what-ifs. She takes a step forward, and a small, uncertain smile finds its way to her lips.
