Josephine
Malmaison 1804

"Every flame holds a story"
Malmaison, Spring 1804 —
I rested on the delicate table in Queen Josephine’s private garden, where the breeze carried the scent of roses into her hair. The last light of day wrapped the garden in a golden glow. She wore a silk gown, her golden crown catching the sun — a whisper of gentle grace. Across the garden, laughter danced among friends, light as air. But Josephine sat apart — eyes drifting beyond the garden, toward unseen tomorrows. Beside her hand, candlelight shimmered on porcelain and a letter, softly worn: “To my beloved Josephine… I will love you always.” In that moment, time stilled — her crown felt light; love, heavier than gold.

I am the candle holder, Josephine. From the spring of 1804 to this very day, I have kept the light alive. Light is eternal — it only changes its place.
