Lascar Fervor
Chapter One: The Garden of Quiet Promises
The evening air was heavy with the scent of jasmine.
Derick
•Walked slowly through the lantern-lit garden•
His heart beating faster with every step that brought him closer to Lisel.
She was waiting by the old stone fountain, her silhouette framed by the soft glow of fireflies.
For a moment, he simply watched her—how the breeze toyed with strands of her hair, how her eyes seemed lost in thought yet alive with unspoken dreams.
He whispered, his voice carrying more than her name—it carried years of longing.
She turned, and the world seemed to pause.
As if she had doubted he would.
Though his chest ached with the weight of everything he wanted to say.
Derick
“I would cross oceans if it meant finding you here.”
Her laughter was quiet, almost shy, but it melted the distance between them. He stepped closer, and the fountain’s water reflected their faces—two souls caught between hesitation and inevitability.
Lisel
“I don’t want this night to end,”
Lisel admitted, her voice trembling like the petals of the jasmine around them.
Derick reached for her hand, his fingers brushing hers with reverence.
Derick
“Then let’s make a promise,”
Derick
“That no matter how many storms come, we’ll always find our way back to this garden… back to each other.”
Her eyes glistened, and she nodded.
Lisel
•Whispered, sealing it with the warmth of her touch.•
And as the lanterns flickered above them, Derick and Lisel stood together—two hearts writing the first lines of a love story that would not fade with the night.
