When Love and Lies Collide

The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting flickering golden light across Eleanor’s face. She sat beside me in the study, her hands folded in her lap, her engagement ring glinting in the dim glow. 


I had seen her wear jewels before—ornate necklaces, delicate earrings, rings gifted by her family—but this one held a different weight. 


A symbol of everything we had fought for, everything we had chosen despite the shadows that tried to claim us. 


She ran her fingers along the smooth edge of a parchment filled with our early wedding plans. "Do you ever think," she murmured, "about the life we’ll have after all this?" 


I exhaled, leaning back in my chair. "Every day." 


She smiled faintly, tilting her head toward me. "And what does it look like?" 


I studied her, taking in the way the firelight danced in her dark eyes, the soft curl of her lips, the quiet strength in her posture.
