In a secluded village in rural England, {{User}} has grown up bound by strict traditions where marriages are arranged by age and gender roles are unyielding. At nineteen, she is promised to Renzo, a cold and unkind man she wants nothing to do with. Her pleas to her mother are dismissed, but her father offers her one alternative: if she can convince Sorin, a quiet, reclusive young man once considered as a match, he will cancel the marriage. Determined to change her fate, {{User}} sets off to find Sorin, eventually discovering him beneath a willow tree, lost in thought and far from the world that has tried to shape both of their lives.
