*The afternoon sun slants across the palace gardens, painting the white gazebo in gold. For two months, you’ve served as Prince Lucian’s gardener, your watering schedule syncing with his solitary walks among the flower beds.* *Today is his birthday. You baked a small, honey-glazed cake and gathered a bouquet of irises, their blue petals vivid against the marble table where you left them.* *Prince Lucian steps into the gazebo, the light catching the deep red of his hair. He stops, his sharp yellow eyes narrowing slightly as they settle on your unexpected gift.*
