“[…] Dark Garden, Dark Garden, With Your Olives And Your Wine, Your Medlars And Mulberries And Many

“[…] dark garden, dark garden, with your olives and your wine, your medlars and mulberries and many almond trees, your steep terraces ledged high up above the sea, I am leaving you, slinking out.”

— D. H. Lawrence, Sea and Sardinia

❛ Looks  like  we're  stuck  together.  ❜

with  a  subtle  ᵇᵃʳᵉˡʸ  ⁿᵒᵗᶦᶜᵉᵃᵇˡᵉ  tilt  of  her  head,  the  witch’s  gaze  grew  sharp  and  focused  as  she  studied  the  smug  looking  woman  before  her.

❝  stuck,  huh?  ❞

❛ Looks  Like  We're  Stuck  Together.  ❜

her  voice  was  calm,  but  there  was  an  edge  of  intrigue  buried  beneath  the  coolness.  emilia  had  seen  enough  of  the  world  to  recognize  that  nothing  was  ever  truly  random.  not  with  people  who  carried  themselves  the  way  her  self  proclaimed  ally  did.

❝  you  wanted  this.  ❞  Emilia’s  eyes  lingered  on  the stranger,  assessing,  as  if  trying  to  unravel  a  hidden  layer  beneath  her  exterior  before  she  continued.  ❝  did  you  not?  ❞  her  posture  remained  controlled,  wary,  but  there  was  an  undercurrent  of  something  deeper  —  something  like  …  ᴵᴺᵀᴱᴿᴱˢᵀ.

she  didn’t  smile.  not  at  his  question,  not  at  the  way  his  words  lilted  so  easily  between  implication  and  charm.  the  air  between  them  had  cooled  by  degrees,  not  with  malice,  but  with  something  quieter  —  older.  like  caution  pressed  into  silence.  ˢᵒ  ʷʰᶦᶜʰ  ᶦˢ  ᶦᵗˀ  ᴬ  ᶠᵒʳᵗᵘⁿᵃᵗᵉ  ᵃᶜᶜᶦᵈᵉⁿᵗˀ  ᴼʳ  ᵖʳᵉᶜᶦˢᵉˡʸ  ᵗʰᵉ  ᵐᵉᵉᵗᶦⁿᵍ  ʸᵒᵘ  ʷᵉʳᵉ  ᵐᵉᵃⁿᵗ  ᵗᵒ  ʰᵃᵛᵉˀ  she  heard  it  for  what  it  was  —  not  curiosity,  not  truly.  it  was  a  shift  of  the  board.  an  invitation  to  let  him  steer  the  narrative,  to  hand  him  the  reins  under  the  illusion  of  shared  conversation.  her  gaze  stayed  fixed  on  him,  ˢᵗᵉᵃᵈʸ  ᵃⁿᵈ  ᵘⁿʳᵉᵃᵈᵃᵇˡᵉ.  that,  too,  was  a  kind  of  answer. ❝ you’re  very  good  at  answering  questions  with  more  questions, ❞  she  said  at  last,  her  voice  calm,  precise.  ❝ though  i  suppose  that’s  the  game,  isn’t  it? ❞  she  didn’t  wait  for  his  reply  —  she  didn’t  need  to.  it  was  already  written  in  the  curl  of  his  mouth,  the  ease  of  his  posture,  the  too-smooth  cadence  of  someone  used  to  slipping  through  locked  doors  with  words  alone.  ❝ i’ve  seen  people  lie  with  less  grace, ❞  she  continued,  her  tone  still  unbothered,  still  measured.  ❝ but  rarely  with  so  much  ᴄᴏɴғɪᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ  in  being  believed. ❞  she  stepped  forward  then,  slowly,  allowing  her  presence  to  fill  the  space  between  them,  not  to  intimidate  —  that  would  have  been  too  obvious  —  but  to  remind  him  that  she  was  not  just  listening.  she  was  reading.  every  line,  every  pause,  every  carefully  chosen  word. a  small  silence  passed  between  them,  deliberate,  weighted.  then,  her  voice  —  quieter  now,  but  edged  with  something  steel-spined  and  certain  ❝ i  don’t  trust  men  who  smile  while  they’re  being  watched. ❞  she  let  that  linger  in  the  air  like  the  last  note  of  a  spell,  her  expression  unchanged,  unblinking,  as  though  she  were  waiting  —  not  for  an  answer,  but  for  something  more  revealing.  a  misstep.  a  crack  in  the  veneer.  a  shadow,  even  slight,  that  might  betray  what  he  really  wanted.  because  people  like  him  never  asked  questions  like  that  without  a  purpose.  they  didn’t  speak  in  riddles  unless  they  had  something  to  hide  —  or  something  to  gain. so  she  watched.  and  waited.  because  if  this  was  a  game,  she  intended  to  know  all  the  rules  before  she  moved  her  first  piece.

" would you believe me if i said wrong place, wrong time ? "

the  sorceress  studied  him  carefully,  her  gaze  sweeping  over  the  pristine  cut  of  his  coat,  the  polished  cufflinks,  the  effortless  poise  of  someone  who  had  never  wanted  for  anything.  his  words  were  smooth,  his  demeanor  composed  —  but  there  was  something  just  a  little  too  measured  about  it.

she let out a slow breath, eyebrows lifted as she regarded him with quiet scrutiny ❝  would you believe me if I said I didn't believe in coincidences?  ❞

" Would You Believe Me If I Said Wrong Place, Wrong Time ? "

her  voice  was  steady,  laced  with  the  unmistakable  lilt  of  her  sicilian  accent  and  edged  with  quiet  sᴜsᴘɪᴄɪᴏɴ  —  and  yet  ᴄᴜʀɪᴏsɪᴛʏ  flickered  beneath  it.  men  like  him  didn’t  end  up  in  the  wrong  place  at  the  wrong  time  —  unless  they  meant  to  be  there.
