The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
A knock at the door changed everything.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.
The end.
