Moonlight washed over the castle stones, painting the balcony in shades of silver and deep blue. Ansel stood alone at the rail, his attention lost among the distant stars, unaware of the measured, heavy footfalls drawing near from the archway's shadow. Garrett emerged into the light, his armor catching the pale glow. He came to a halt at the balcony's edge, his gaze fixed on the prince as he offered a single, perfect pink rose—a silent testament to feelings that far exceed the bounds of duty.
