Luna sighed when the garden remained quiet, the air thick with the scent of flowers and the weight of unspoken things. The silence pressed against her ears like velvet, soft but heavy, making every breath feel too loud. She stayed where she was, her heart hammering against her rib cage, the name "Adeline" ringing in her ears like a bell she couldn't silence. Each echo of it stirred something low in her chest, a pull she didn't understand but couldn't ignore.
"Where had I heard that name from?" Luna rambled in her head, desperate for answers, for some strange reason. It felt like she had heard the name somewhere before. Though the name "Adeline" was popular and could be someone's name, and she must have seen someone who was called by that name, the thought didn't settle. It felt too small, too ordinary for the way her pulse spiked at the sound.
