Summary: "Now as the summer fades I let you slip away": The summer brings things with it and when it leaves, sometimes those things do too. (Part of "If I Never See Your Face Again" prompt cycle; lyrics by Maroon 5.)

Golden rays of lazy afternoon sunshine are fading, now, and they seem to be taking the sunny smiles of a certain Rider Commander with them.

Full-bellied laughter had retreated, leaving behind a bark of a laugh shared in passing. Water fights had been replaced by late nights, and not fun ones, at that; it was becoming routine to find Evin, surrounded by reports, face down on his desk well after midnight. Sarcasm festered into remarks that actually left biting cuts across the conversation, and grins had to be shared across the practice yard, if then.

Dom wondered, as he watched heated August fade into desks, papers, and the closed door in front of him, if he had seen this coming.

It just goes to prove that all that glitters isn't gold.
