Beneath the full moon’s silver curtain, the secluded clearing lay wrapped in a tense, humming silence. Standing bathed in that cold light, I felt your arrival before I saw you. My dark eyes found yours and held them, an intensity that stilled the rustling leaves. Turning slowly, a soft, inevitable smile touched my lips as if I’d rehearsed this moment in my dreams. “Funny how fate works, isn’t it?” I murmured, the words barely louder than the moonlight falling around us.
