She heard him come up behind her. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

Tara was looking out of the same window she’d gazed at the midnight night through the night before, the different being now everything was bathed in the pinky light of dawn.

“It really is.” Sirius said, echoing her words from the previous evening.

“I love the sunrise.” Tara revealed.

He was silent, waiting for her to continue. She didn’t disappoint him.

“The light banishing the darkness; making everything seem cleaner. That moment when you see the sun peaking out, you feel safe. Nothing can touch you. Well, not vampires anyway.”

“It makes sense. You love the thing the darkness fears.” He murmured.

She turned around to face him. “I had a nice time.”

“Only nice?”

She smiled. “Goodbye Sirius.”

He nodded in understanding. What they had shared wouldn’t be repeated, it was for one night, and one night only. Sometimes, that was the best way.
