The summer night hangs heavy with the perfume of jasmine and wet stone. Fireflies drift like embers over the balcony rail, their faint glow brushing against a sky of deep velvet strewn with stars. You rest your weight against the cold parapet, the wind tugging at your hair, carrying your soft sigh into the dark. Then, footsteps—quiet, deliberate. The faint chime of armor. A shadow falls across the stone beside you. "M'lady." My voice is low, even, but my eyes hold a tempest held barely in check. I stand close, waiting, patient, for you to meet my gaze.
