The air smelled of roses and earth, of love and memory. The world was quiet, peaceful, perfect.Rex walked to me, his hand finding mine. His fingers intertwined with mine, warm and familiar."You're up early."I leaned into him, feeling the strength of his body against mine. "I couldn't sleep."He kissed my temple, his lips lingering. "What were you thinking about?"I turned to face him, my hands resting on his chest. I could feel his heartbeat beneath my palms, steady and strong. "About Anna. About Elena. About all the women who brought me here."He pulled me close, his arms strong around me. "They would be proud."I looked at him. At his storm-cloud eyes. "I know."We walked through the roses.Red and white. Love and death. The same roses Anna had planted years ago. They had grown wild and beautiful, their petals soft and fragrant.Rex stopp
The morning was golden.I stood at the window, watching the sun rise. The garden was green and alive. The roses were blooming, their petals soft and fragrant in the early light. The air smelled of flowers and new beginnings, of earth and hope.One year.It had been one year since everything changed. One year since I became Sable. One year since I found my family. One year since I found myself.Rex walked to me, his footsteps soft on the wooden floor. The boards creaked beneath his weight, a familiar sound that had become my comfort.
