Aurora stood on the doorstep, her gaze fixed on the receding carriage that carried her husband, Sebastian, away. The rhythmic clip-clop of horse hooves echoed through the quiet courtyard, punctuating the heavy silence that enveloped her. It was the first time since their marriage that Sebastian would be away for an extended period – two weeks that felt like an eternity in the quiet halls of their estate.

She watched the familiar figure of Sebastian through the window, his face framed by the soft glow of the carriage's interior. There was a subtle tension in his expression, a reflection of the responsibilities that awaited him on this journey. Aurora couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety, wondering how these two weeks of separation would unfold.
