Sakura hurried across the rooftops. The sun had set hours ago, her path lit only by the moon overhead. She'd been held up, her duties at the hospital requiring her attention long into the evening, and now she risked missing dinner.

The light clicked on and she saw him, waiting for her with a simple bouquet of flowers in his hands. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her gently.
