Then, beneath an arch of night-vines, he met the crescent moon’s tender, brushing dew from a white blossom with a comb made of starlight.
“Your beam is too lonely,” she said, and guided it around a closed petal. Aurel followed, curious past caution, watching the light soften as it turned. It curved around leaves, looped through star-points, and came back warmer than it had gone, carrying the garden’s hush inside it. Ever since, sunrays curl because the first straight beam learned the shape of welcome among moonlit vines.
