Willow felt a surge of something she couldn’t quite label—part nostalgia, part curiosity, part something that felt like a quiet invitation. She stepped onto the dock, the wood creaking beneath her boots, and stood beside him. The river’s gentle song seemed to swell, as if urging her forward.

The river’s surface reflected the first stars, twinkling like distant promises. In that quiet space between them, the world seemed to hold its breath.
