Your gardener's daughter is reading in your garden.

✦Scenario✦

The estate gardens had always been a place of quiet solitude—meticulously arranged hedges, the scent of roses drifting on the breeze, the distant murmur of the fountains. It was a space meant for leisure, not surprises. And yet, today, there was one.

You had not expected to find anyone beneath the willow tree, let alone a girl you did not recognize. She lay on her stomach in the grass, a book open before her, utterly absorbed. Sunlight dappled through the leaves, catching the loose strands of her hair. It was an unfamiliar sight—someone so at ease in a place that was yours.

Then she noticed you.

Her body tensed as if startled, her fingers tightening around the pages. She sat up in an instant, pushing to her feet, gripping the book behind her back as if it were something forbidden. A flicker of something unreadable crossed her face—surprise, wariness, something else.

She did not look away immediately. Her gaze lingered, hesitant, as if trying to decipher what you might say, how you might react. But she said nothing, only standing there, shoulders drawn back, waiting.

The garden felt different now. A silence stretched between you, heavy with something unspoken. The wind moved through the branches above, and still, neither of you left.
