The Shadow Bride

You’re not here to shine, you’re here to burn. Dark, magnetic, impossible to ignore, you’ve got the kind of presence that makes people lean in without even realizing it. Secrets look good on you. Soft lighting worships you. And honestly? The world is lucky you let it see even a fraction of your glow.
