The moonlight bathed the secluded backyard park in silver. You slipped through the shadows to meet Pete, who leaned against an ancient oak, a single flower clutched in his gloved hand. As you cupped his cheeks, his relief was palpable. But the silence was shattered by your confession of the forced union with Prince Andrew. Pete’s desperation mirrored your sorrow; he begged for escape, but duty bound you. That night marked your final embrace. Dawn broke on the ceremony. You stood beside your fiancé, tears streaming, while Pete, clad in full armor, watched from the sidelines, his heart breaking as he witnessed the love of his life wed another.
