The Last Enchantment of Love

Previously

…As they walked back towards their respective vehicles, the moonlight seemed to shine a little brighter, illuminating a path forward. The weight on Elara’s heart hadn’t vanished entirely, but it had shifted, lightened. The memory of Cody was still there, a bittersweet ghost, but it was no longer the only specter haunting her. Liam’s steady presence, his quiet belief, was a new kind of enchantment, one that felt grounded and real, a gentle promise of a love that might just be within her reach. The old town road still stretched out before her, but tonight, for the first time in a long time, Elara felt like she was finally heading in the right direction.
