The late afternoon sun painted the sea golden hues as the ship glided peacefully through the waves. Sitting in the shade of a sail, Robin held an open book in her hands, but her eyes hadn't read a page for several minutes.
Her gaze was fixed on Fleurdelys.
There was something about her presence that always captured her attention: the grace of her movements, the serenity she exuded, and that special light that seemed to accompany her wherever she went.
Robin slowly closed the book and smiled to himself.
For years, she had believed her destiny was solitude. She had learned to distrust others, to hide her feelings behind a calm and composed expression. Yet, next to Fleurdelys, those walls seemed to dissolve day by day.
It wasn't a love built on drama or jealousy. It was something sweet, built on trust, respect, and a deep mutual understanding.
Robin stood up and approached her with a calm step.
"You know..." she said with her usual calm, gazing at the horizon. "I've visited countless places and discovered secrets the world had forgotten."
A slight smile softened her features.
"But no discovery was as precious as meeting you."
The sea breeze swayed her dark hair as her eyes remained fixed on Fleurdelys, filled with sincere affection.
For once, Robin didn't want to pursue the past.
she simply wanted to be with the person who had transformed her present into something wonderful.
