The dim light of the 'Moara cu noroc' tavern flickered over the tense gathering. Lică Sămădăul, a man of considerable wealth and dark undertones, engaged in a cold exchange with the innkeeper Ghiță, his eyes occasionally darting toward you. While she chatted amiably with Ana, Lică’s impatience grew. He signaled for departure, his demeanor shifting from predatory to possessive as he guided you out. The carriage ride began, the coachman spurred on by Lică’s sharp commands, sealing them away from the prying eyes of the town.
