"Where are we, Killian?"
"This is the magical lake, Amelia," Killian whispered, his voice a low rumble in the stillness. "Where secrets are whispered and..."
"..dreams come true," I finished, my eyes tracing the outline of the lake. It was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.
This was the legendary lake.
The one Prince Cassius and Emily had spoken of, the one where wishes whispered at midnight were granted, and sunsets shared sealed a love for eternity. This was the place that had been the subject of hushed whispers and stolen glances, the place where I had dreamed of coming with Killian, the place where I had hoped our love would be blessed forever.
And now, here I was, standing beside him, the moonlight bathing us in a silver glow. This was such a beautiful twist of fate.
"You know about this place?" he asked, his voice tinged with surprise.
