But that peace was fleeting. ‘Today might be the day I join my father in the afterlife,’ I thought, the weight of that realization pressing down on me. The sunset, beautiful as it was, couldn't mask the bitter truth gnawing at my insides.

Nelson pointed out, "But it's almost evening." I persisted, "That's exactly why we should go. Have you ever watched the sunset at the beach?"

Hopefully, I'll find the courage to reveal my feelings at the beach. We arrived just in time to witness the breathtaking sunset. Parked on the sand, we watched as the sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of yellow and pink hues. The air shifted, birds flew overhead, and the surroundings adapted to the night's embrace.

"Change of plans!" He scooped Adelaide up by the waist. Leveraging his superhuman wolf agility, he blurred across the snow in a series of powerful leaps and sprints, cutting through the woods until they reached the peak. Standing at the edge of the cliff, he pointed toward the horizon where the sun was beginning its slow descent. "See? No flowers, but it's still beautiful, right?" "We can wait here for the sunset. And once the light fades, we'll just slide straight down that slope! Trust me, it'll be a total rush!"

The sun was setting over the horizon, beginning to streak the sky with the purples of sunset. With a sigh, I began making my way towards the softly idling town car that sat in my drive.

he fired back with a shake of his head and only a half-hearted attempt to control the wide smile. With a giggle, she slapped the car into drive, cranked up the stereo, and drove off up the long driveway. The sky was awash with color as if a brush had been swiped across it in an aspiring artist’s desperate attempt to paint the perfect sunset. Vibrant hues of golden buttery yellow mixed with flaming reds and soft violets to bathe the winter-bare landscape beautifully.

I muttered under my breath knowing she could not really hear me. I glanced at her sleeping face, sighed then walked outside to watch the sun dip in the horizon. The orange streaks decorating the horizon were the only glorious sight in this goddamn life. I sat on the small dry tree stump overlooking the expansive area. Watching sunset was the only good thing I could actually bring myself to do, apart from training, riding my motorbike and working. “Stop,” A piercing scream rented the quiet evening air.

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.

he said, placing me on the bonnet of the car. He went back for the snacks and drinks and set them beside me before sitting down. “Watching the sunset here is better than anywhere else,” he said. The sun was setting, and he was right. It melted into a deep orange orb as the sky blended into crimson, pink, and lavender streaks. I gasped. “Beautiful.” “It is,” he whispered.
