She was slowly fading out of his life, now that he thought about it. Was it because of his ingratitude? He never showed his admiration.

He wouldn't stop her though. No, he couldn't stop her. It was beyond him now. He should've made the tranquil moments last; savouring every second of her presence.

But even fading light radiate beauty to all those who seeks it. And Sasuke had always secretly loved the dusk.
