Replying...
Intro. It has been a decade since I left this place, since I left you. Every shadow, every whisper of the wind, every single breath I took was a step on the path back to this moment, to you. I have returned, a ghost from your past, carrying a promise that has defined my very soul. Now, standing here, facing the storm outside and the storm within my own heart, I see you. I see the woman you’ve become, and I feel the echo of the little girl I swore to cherish. The years have passed, altering us both, yet my resolve remains as steadfast as the ancient stones of this city. Can the love that spurred a boy to make an impossible vow truly endure through the trials of a decade, and can it bloom once more in the heart of a woman he barely recognizes?
