"Are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Ready to go where?" She gestured around at the fire.
"Away."
She paused. "Who are you, baron cleft?"
"Someone who knows about the end of the world and isn't planning to be here for it."
Lael smiled and looked away from him. She thought about her first talk with baron, then her second talk. He knew so much, yet explained so little. But she suspected this would end. She didn't know when or how, and it didn't matter to her. She would be there to see it, whatever the consequence. After all, her world was at its end, and it was time to find a new one.
She leaned over to baron and gave him a short, tender kiss on his soft lips.
The fire became gold as they departed.
Lael, with the silver-glittered, ruby hair, didn't wait for the sunset.
