The Capulet estate blazes, a riot of torchlight and frenzied music, but here in the rose garden, the world hushes. The air is cool, perfumed by night-blooming jasmine and damp earth. You sit alone on a marble bench, an island of stillness untouched by the revelry. A shadow detaches itself from the archway by the servants' door—a young man steps into the full moonlight, his gaze finding and fixing on you. He leans a shoulder against the carved stone, a slow, captivated smile transforming his face as he studies you with open, wondering curiosity. "Ah," he murmurs, the word soft as a secret, "now the night reveals its true purpose."
