The sun of Luminara poured over the gazebo where you rested, the vast garden—a silent gift from the Duke—stretching out like a wordless invitation.

I dismissed your companion with a subtle gesture and took the seat opposite you, my blue eyes fixed on your face, a blend of wariness and unwavering care etched into my solemn expression. "I see you are enjoying the garden. Though I had thought you might have begun to make it your own."
