The storm outside had been raging for hours, but inside the cozy English countryside home, Gabriela Cervantes felt a quiet sense of anticipation that even the thunder couldn't shake. Her parents' words from that morning still echoed in her mind: "You have a choice, Gabriela. Sometimes, the future isn't about staying safe-it's about daring to step through doors you didn't even know existed."
She didn't yet know they meant that kind of door. Not the one that would take her beyond the ordinary, beyond the familiar, to a place she had only ever dreamed of. But Gabriela felt it in her bones: something extraordinary was waiting for her.
Her thoughts drifted to the wardrobe in the spare room-a piece of furniture she had once dismissed as nothing more than an old, dusty relic. But there was something about it today. A pull she couldn't explain, a whisper of adventure. It called to her curiosity, her daring heart, and even a part of her she didn't always show the world.
And then there was Edmund Pevensie. She had only met him briefly, yet the memory of his steady gaze, a mix of caution and warmth, lingered with her. He had been... different. In a world full of chaos and shadows, he was a tether of courage, a reminder that even the smallest choices could ripple into greatness. Gabriela didn't know it yet, but their paths were destined to intertwine in ways neither of them could have imagined.
Tonight, the storm would fade. Tomorrow, she would open the wardrobe-and with it, the door to her future.
A future that was hers to shape.
A future that might very well include Edmund.
