Before Sunset Novels & Stories

Nova’s POV I could see the sun starting set. It was casting beautiful hues of orange, pink and gold, across the early evening sky. I didn’t know what was going to happen next, so I decided to take a moment to just take in and absorb the beauty of nature. I had the ominous sensation if I didn’t figure out a way out of this, I wasn’t going to be seeing another sunset.

As the sun dipped beneath the horizon, Seathrone Isle underwent a breathtaking transformation. Lights flickered to life across the estate, casting a warm, amber glow along the winding stone pathways. The villa shimmered against the deepening violet of the sky, its expansive glass walls reflecting the final rays of gold. Beyond the shoreline, the ocean stretched into a vast, calm mirror, holding the day's last light. By the time night fully settled, the island felt less like a physical place and more like a dream constructed from pure power and elegance.

The sunset slowly disappeared, leaving a soft golden hue in the sky. Grayson hugged Kimmy again. “I don’t need any other reason to love you,” he said. Kimmy closed her eyes, returning his embrace. “Me too,” she whispered, her voice trembling. The evening sky by the beach looked like a painting. Shades of orange and purple glowed across the horizon, wrapping the hotel room whose windows were wide open facing the sea. The sea breeze drifted in slowly, carrying the salty scent and the soothing rhythm of the waves. Grayson stood behind Kimmy, embracing her gently from behind. His chin rested on her shoulder as she stood quietly, gazing at the sun that was slowly disappearing.

When the boss asks why I'm quitting, I'll say I'm going to watch the sunset." I smiled before putting my phone back into my pocket. I leaned back and kept watching that patch of clouds. The sun had fully sunk behind the mountains, and the clouds slowly faded from deep orange-red to a soft pinkish purple. A few of the brightest stars were already beginning to appear along the horizon.

The past was at rest, and the future belonged entirely to the light. By six o'clock in the evening, the sun began its gorgeous descent over the ocean, painting the horizon in shades of deep lavender, rose gold, and soft copper. Vivian drove back to the Sinclair estate, stepping out into the cool evening air. The pleasant sound of Emma's cheerful laughter echoed from the back garden, mixed with Arthur's deep, warm chuckles.

Alish pov : Alexander and me are standing in front of the vast wide and raging ocean. I sat on the sand , the time is almost 6.30pm now. I look to the west. The sun is about to set and the whole sky is swirls of pink and orange and red. The sun is separated from me by nothing more than ocean and a small sliver of land. It looks like it’s dangling above the earth like a floating flame. I've seen the sunset countless times, but I've never felt this deep way of pleasure by looking at this, maybe I'm in a deep sorrow, that's why I'm finding this depth of pleasure in this simple scenery today.

He smiled. “I see a small restaurant there. Let’s have a small supper” “Sure” I replied and made my way to the small hut-like restaurant. We ate peacefully and after eating, we went out.

A comfortable silence begins to settle between us as we watch the sunset over the horizon. "Peaceful isn't it," he says after a while.

Reiner turned to give me a funny look before he shook his head at me disapprovingly. “You’ll just end up freaking out,” Reiner said knowingly. “Probably not if we don’t go when it’s super dark. If we go this afternoon, we can watch the sunset and then quickly head back. How’s that for a plan?” I suggested without willing to back down. “If that’s what you want,” Reiner replied with a smile. “It’s a done deal,” I declared happily.
