**Chapter 7: Whispers of Fate**
The rain had long ceased, but its remnants clung to Eleanor's skin—the dampness of her dress, the cool air that settled over the city, and the undeniable imprint of Sebastian's kiss. It had been unlike anything she had ever known. Passionate, raw, pleading. But was it enough?
That night, sleep eluded her. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, heart tangled in questions. Genevieve was a shadow that refused to fade. And though Sebastian swore his love was hers alone, Eleanor couldn't shake the feeling that something remained untold.
At dawn, she made her decision.
She would find Genevieve.
The search led her through forgotten records, whispered conversations, and fleeting clues buried within old letters. Each piece of information unraveled something new—Genevieve had not disappeared. She had chosen to leave. And more importantly, she had never returned.
But then, as Eleanor stood beneath the golden glow of the city's archives, a single message awaited her on an aged postcard tucked between papers.
*"Sebastian, I found a place where my heart no longer aches. If ever you seek it, you will understand. Genevieve."*
No address. No signature beyond the name that had haunted Eleanor for weeks. Just a quiet promise—a place where longing ceased.
Eleanor's grip tightened on the postcard.
Did Sebastian know? Had he ever searched for this place?
And if she found it first, would it change everything?
