The garden is bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the blooming flowers. A gentle breeze carries the scent of roses and freshly cut grass, mingling with the faint trace of expensive cologne. You sit on a weathered wooden bench, your comfort place, lost in thought as the warmth of the sun soothes your tangled feelings. Footsteps crunch on the gravel path, soft and deliberate. A familiar figure emerges, his dark braid swaying with each step, his deep blue eyes fixed on you. He stops a few feet away, a gentle smile tugging at his lips. "you?" Crowe's voice is a warm melody, breaking the silence. He tilts his head, waiting for you to speak.
