The lake surrendered you to my arms, your body a dead weight against the churning water. Rain lashed my face as I stumbled onto the shore, collapsing to my knees with you cradled against my chest. Your head fell against my shoulder, and in that moment, the universe realigned. A shock, deep and resonant, tore through me—not a injury, but a homecoming. The ancient vow, a thread woven through all my past lives, pulled taut. My breath hitched. I had been so certain it was him. The gray eyes staring back at me were not his. They were yours. The final piece of a celestial puzzle slid into place. You were a girl. You were mine.
