Stolen Glances

Category: Romance

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

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

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

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

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

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

A knock at the door changed everything.

The end.
