The universe seemed to conspire to reunite their fates, intertwining the threads of their lives once more.

The years of service and the unspoken connection all converged in a single heartbeat.
Without a second thought, he closed the distance between them and enveloped her in a tender embrace.
Ophelia, caught in the tender strength of Zaden's arms, felt a dam within her crack.
