A stranger arrived that June, his smile sharp as a dagger and his eyes the color of forgotten sonnets. He named himself , a poet from Milan with a reputation for charm and a shadow of grief clinging to him like smoke. Santhy noticed the way he lingered near the library’s forbidden section, where the Library banned books said to haunt readers were stored. When he asked her to find a particular ledger— The Tale of Star-Crossed Flames —Santhy agreed, unaware this would bind their fates.
“The past is clay in the hands of the brave—if only one dares to read between the lines.”
Against her better judgment, Santhy agreed. She broke into the Capulet estate under the guise of a servant (thanks to Livia’s secret messages) and discovered a chamber beneath the family chapel. Inside, a mural depicted the Capulet-Montague feud, but its center held a prophecy: “When the scholar and the starcrossed converge, the tale shall be reborn.”
Also, the "verified" part might mean ensuring the story is based on credible elements or that Santhy's role as a storyteller adds authenticity. Including a resolution where Santhy preserves their story through her writing would tie in her role as an author. Need to check for consistency in the character development and ensure the plot flows smoothly from introduction to resolution.
I should start by setting the scene in a fictional town, maybe Verona, to tie into Romeo. The main character, Santhy Agatha, could be a modern-day woman working in a library or bookstore, which gives her a scholarly vibe. Her passion for literature and ancient texts makes sense. Then, introduce a mysterious stranger, maybe named Romeo, but with a twist—he's linked to the original story.
Santhy, torn between history and the present, became their clandestine courier. Under moonless nights, she met Romeo in the library’s catacombs, where he begged her to help Livia defy her father. “The book is a mirror,” Romeo said, gripping her hands. “It will show you the truth of us—the war that binds us, the love that could unmake it.”
