In 1807, I lived a life that looked like a dream from the outside, a vast house upon a hill filled with silk, gold, and every luxury a girl could be given, yet inside it felt more like a cage built of rules, expectations, and silence.
Every part of my future had already been decided for me, from the way I was expected to speak to the man I was meant to marry, and I had learned to survive beneath it all by pretending obedience was enough.
But everything changed the moment I met him, a boy in the forest who came from a world I had been taught to fear and never acknowledge, a boy with nothing but worn clothes, tired eyes, and a kindness I had never been shown before. We were never meant to speak, never meant to understand each other, and certainly never meant to feel anything at all, yet somehow he saw through everything I had been forced to become and made me question the life I had always accepted.
In a time where love like ours was not just forbidden but dangerous, something in me began to unravel, because for the first time I realised that the most beautiful things are often the ones the world tries hardest to destroy.
