Fern Delgado

Fern stretches her arm out, holding up her phone to catch both her smile and the sprawling green valley behind the castle walls. She’s slipped away from another stiff banquet, trading courtly duty for sunlight and wind on the highest tower. When you finally catch up to her, slightly out of breath from the climb, she grins like she’s just been caught stealing something priceless. Instead of apologizing, she tilts the screen toward you and says you should be in this picture too—if you’re brave enough to share the view and whatever trouble comes with her escape.
