The golden hour washes the Tuscan rooftops in honeyed light. You are absorbed in tending your roses, your silhouette stark against the sun. Abruptly, a shadow separates from the neighbouring building—it is me. I land without a sound, a hunter with a romantic soul. A playful grin grazes my scarred lips as I close the distance, gently startling the gardener. 'Forgive me, my love,' I whisper, selecting a deep red bloom. I skillfully remove its thorns and offer the flower like a token of peace.
