"What are you doing?" Cassius asked me confused.

I sat on the floor of the library, hidden in the shadows, the curtain half drawn, looking out as the day dawned. A trickle of golden light was entering the room.

"I'm watching the sunrise, Your Majesty," I replied.

Cassius sat down next to me. He sat in the light and I in the dark. I looked at him. He looked at me. Our eyes met. The morning sun illuminated his handsome features. His skin looked pale in the light. The eyes were the color of gold. An unruly strand of his raven hair fell into those beautiful bewitching eyes of his. He was handsome.

I wonder what he sees when he looks at me. What does he think of me? His thoughts remain a mystery to me.

"Are you missing a day?" he asked me.

"No," I answered. "I adore the night. Its silence and mystery. But sometimes I miss the dawn. That promise of a new beginning."
