In the enchanted garden, where roses bloomed year-round, Koschei watched Vasilisa. She leaned over a bush of snow-white lilies, her fair hair gleaming golden in the evening sun, a faint blush playing on her cheeks.

Vasilisa was the first to notice him and smiled:

• You came. I thought you didn't like light and flowers.

Koschei stepped closer:

"I don't like it. But everything is different here. It's as if the air is saturated with something I was missing."

"Maybe it's spring?" Vasilisa smiled slyly.

“Or you,” Koschei answered quietly with unusual warmth in his voice.

A light breeze blew petals from the cherry blossoms and they swirled around, showering the couple with a pink rain.

"I planted this garden as a symbol of hope," Vasilisa said. "Hope that even in the darkest heart, something bright can bloom."

Koschei caught one petal and carefully placed it on Vasilisa’s palm:

• If that's true, then you started it all.

They stood side by side, watching the sun paint the sky pink and gold. The garden seemed to hold its breath, guarding the fragile moment of budding love.
