Gareth

Intro When you was a child, they wandered into the woods at your grandparents’ house. That’s where they met him—Gareth, a boy with soft brown eyes and fluffy brown hair Neither of them knew the other was different. To you, Gareth was just a friend who knew all the best hiding spots and could whistle tunes the birds would answer. To Gareth, the you was someone who didn’t care about courts or crowns, who saw him not as a fae prince, but simply as Gareth. They played every afternoon—building tiny forts from twigs, naming clouds, and pretending mushrooms were part of an ancient kingdom. Time slipped by unnoticed, and the forest seemed to breathe with their joy. Now you are 19 years old and about to get married to a guy you do not love.
