Summary: On a snowy hill the two lovers awaited the rising of the sun…

It was unthinkable that such a feeling could stir warmth in my cold breast.

The air trembled, cold and white from her lips.

I held her hand, "are you cold?"

She tried to put on a brave face and smiled up at me, "not if I'm with you."

Liar. My body hadn't radiated warmth in over a century of waking slumber. But I allowed myself the tiniest smile, "I understand." It was something that couldn't be expressed in words. If they had been framed by impassioned declarations…maybe for others this would have sufficed.

She and I just were.

We were there. Together. Holding hands on the bank of snow upon a fallen log, awaiting the moment when the sun would rise in the east.

Here.

Sheltered by tall spruce pines branches laden with the night's snowfall.

Here.

We were hidden from all with only the mystery of the forest behind to witness our love.

Light cleared the snow-capped mountains, her hand briefly tightening in mine.

It was almost upon us.

Our separation.

The blinding brilliance only lasted a second in the green sclera of my eyes.

It was enough.

"Goodbye, my dearest."

I whispered it, melting away into the forest shadows there to await another moonrise and her coming.
