"So, do you like it?" Remus asked his lover nervously.
"It's… beautiful, Moony!" Remus grinned, for although he knew he could trust Sirius with anything, anything at all, it is still a big step sharing your most private, sacred place in the world… your "Happy Place"… your little slice of Heaven. The couple stood, arms entwined around each others' bodies to keep out the chill of the January winter, at the summit of Toompea Hill, looking out over the great city of Tallinn.
