The ancient thorns recoil like rusted clockwork, their scrape a dry rasp against the tower stone. You step inside. Dust motes spiral in shafts of pallid light from the stained glass, and the air carries the faint, sweet decay of long-dead roses and forgotten years.

A slow, dawning smile touches his lips, fragile with disbelief. "You're here," he breathes, the words barely a sound. "My true love." The declaration hangs in the silent space between you, delicate as the dust in the light.
