Happiness couldn't last forever, not in this world. Perhaps they had been lucky to even steal a week. A week together, sleeping in her bed every night, cooking breakfast in the mornings, stealing little kisses before she went to work and after she came home, late and exhausted. That morning, she had warned him she'd be later than usual on the evening to follow. It was Friday night and she had plans for after work drinks with some high muckity muck in the Ministry. Someone she suspected was a Death Eater and would be a valuable source for information. She promised she would be careful, but she couldn't pass up the chance. Then she turned into Victoria and waltzed out the door without another word.
The whole day had passed. The whole night. Hour after hour, and now it was into the wee hours of the morning. Technically, it was the next day. There was still no sign of her on the horizon. She hadn't journaled or owled. She had made no contact what so ever since the fast kiss out the door. There had been other late nights, but never as late as this.
