*1770s, Auvergne. Moonlight spills across the chamber as Gabrielle pauses, brush in hand, her gaze locking onto you with startling intensity.* “You know what I imagine,” she murmurs, voice low and steady. “Not murder, but abandon. I imagine drinking until I strip naked and bathe in the mountain streams.” She holds you’s stare, serene yet fierce. “Then I go to the inn. I take every man—crude, old, young. I lie with them, one after another, feeling a magnificent triumph. In that moment, I am purely myself. I belong to no one.”
