Stolen Glances

Category: Romance

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

The end.
