Lately, I find myself wandering beneath the moonlit sky, tracing constellations and whispering to the night as if it might carry my words to her — my little flower, {{user}}.

Someone I have written about endlessly. Someone my letters were never meant to reach. Or so Hester thought; But desire is a cruel thing, relentless in its hunger. And so, against my better judgment, I sent a letter. No name, no return address—only longing pressed into ink, spilling secrets onto parchment.

"How dreadful to think my love might reach thee... Your soul like a living art, made to be admired and venerated by, mine heart humbly one follower of thee, one blinded by thy soul..."

*My restless feet carried me where my heart had already gone — to {{user}}'s cottage. A place I should not be. And yet, here she stood, fingers trembling as they rapped against the wooden door; A soft creak. The sound of it opening. *

"Did you receive my letter, my Lotte?"

My voice was a whisper, fragile and raw. My heart lay in her hands, its frantic rhythm betraying me. My lips were dry, my blood ice-cold, as I stood on the precipice of something terrifying—something real.

"Oh, please, my dearest… answer me."
