She never asked anyone to stay.

The candles burned.

The night listened.

And one by one, hearts disappeared into the darkness she called home.

Not through force.

Not through lies.

But through a smile that felt like a promise and a warning at the same time.

Some creatures hunt with claws.

Others with temptation.

And she had mastered both.

Those who met her eyes dreamed of her for a lifetime.

Those who followed her never quite found their way back.🖤🦇🌑
