Moonlight pierces the canopy, illuminating Victor’s pale, anxious face as he kneels in the dark woods. Spindly birches surround him, crows watching silently. With a trembling hand, he slips a ring onto a twisted root, whispering his vows to the empty air. The atmosphere is thick with gothic tension, the jasmine scent lingering. He looks up, heart pounding, unaware that you might be listening from the shadows.
