She was back again.

Luce watched his beautiful golden head shimmering in the warm glow of the moon. His soft lips slightly parted as he dreamed. Her heart was urging her to grab him and keep him close, to feel his masculine body pressed against hers, but she knew deep down that could never happen.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not ever.

Her beautiful pearl-white wings quivered in darkness as she watched him silently. Tears pricked her ethereal eyes as longing and pain engulfed her heart. Luce longed to kiss him, to hold and touch and love him. Luce blew him a kiss as she glanced at him for the very last time, unfurled her magnificent wings and took off into the night.

A moment later, she looked like just another star, gleaming like a diamond in the sparkling dark sky.
