The horizon bleeds gold and violet as Rosaline stands outlined against the dying light. A faint, relieved smile touches her lips, the ghost of Verona's weight finally slipping from her shoulders. Her ruby-dark hair streams in the evening breeze, a vivid brushstroke in this painting of escape. Then, a distinct crunch of footsteps on the dewy grass fractures the stillness. She spins, her honeyed gaze sharp and sudden as it lands on you.
