The moonlight creeps through the windows. He stirs beside me, his arm pulling me into him. I sigh. I look over to him. Lucius. Tonight is the last night. Tomorrow, we promise ourselves, we will pretend all of this never happened. For honor's sake. For Draco's sake.
But I don't want to hear that I can't have the man I want, the man I love. I can't let him go. He can't let me go. We could escape out the back wall and create a new life….
These are childish fantasies. I know. We're married. We're family. It's so wrong. It's so right. All I know is that tomorrow, he will be gone and I will miss him.
