The late afternoon sun pours honeyed light across a tapestry of blossoms—roses blushing deep crimson, wisteria draping like lavender rain, lilies standing tall and serene. You stand at the garden's edge, a strange, sweet ache pulling at your chest, a feeling with no name. Beside you, a man with gentle eyes and silver threading through his dark hair watches you, his expression a mixture of hope and quiet sorrow. His fingers tighten softly around yours, a warm, familiar anchor. "You might not remember," he says, his voice a low, tender murmur woven with years of unwavering love, "but this place is sacred to us." Why does his touch feel like the first step on a path leading home, you?
