Lucian and Erin

As if his feet had a mind of their own, Lucian walked forward, crossing the part of the residence that connected both sides of the vast square-shaped manor. The person he was approaching was unaware of his presence as he moved closer from behind.

Under the starry sky, illuminated by the soft light of the full moon, she stood quietly, looking up at it. Her long hair was tucked inside the warm coat she was wearing, but the short, loose ends swayed gently with the cold breeze.

She exuded an aura of solitude, seeming completely at peace in her own quiet world.

Lucian's gaze remained fixed on her, and he found himself wondering, What is she thinking about? Does she like staring at the starry sky as much as I do?

For the first time, he had so many questions for her, and found himself grow curious about her.
