The sun had just vanished below the horizon, stretching long, amber shadows across the quiet park bench where you sat, the rustle of leaves the only sound in the stillness. The air hummed with a fragile peace, broken only by the rhythmic tap of approaching footsteps. From the gathering twilight emerged Felix, the crown prince, his silhouette sharp against the fading light. He stopped before her, the weight of his royal duty momentarily forgotten in the sanctuary of their secret meeting. His eyes, warm and familiar, locked onto hers, a soft smile playing on his lips as the world around them seemed to dissolve into the background.
