[{{One(After Glow)Shot}}]

She smiled softly as she saw her breath in the air on the cold night.

The white whisps of breath in the air distracted from the long walk that she had taken.

Her eyes lit up as they came across the scene she'd been waiting for.

Luminarias.

They had that bright glow that only happened on cold dark nights: such as this one.

All of the luminarias were scattered along the walkways, making the paths seem romantic and calm.

She got out her camera and snapped a picture.

Although there were bunches of people walking around, she managed to take a picture of just the candles with no people walking through.

She walked on, proceeding to follow the warm glow like the yellow brick road.

She came upon building where the nnumber of candles in bags around and on it was so imense she had to take a step back to fully take everything in.

Another snap, another picture.

Every few feet she'd take another picture.

She finally came to where the candles ended and noticed the darkness surrounding everything.

She was about to turn around to take a picture of the path, when she heard a noise.

The noise was just a stepping sound, but it was strange to her, because everyone she has come across so far had been walking in pairs and groups, besides herself.

She held her breath, expecting a creepy middle aged man to be coming through the darkness - ones that she had often seen walking around the campus.

Instead what came through and stepped into the light was a beautiful boy.

Beautiful is a funny word to use on a boy, but that is the only way to describe him.

She noticed, looking on his half shadowed face, that he looked sad.

"Can I take a picture of you?" she asked quietly, for no one else was around.

Relief came upon the boys face, almost happy that she had not asked the common 'are you alright' question.

"Only if I can take one of you too."

"Sure." she replied smiling.

The couple took random pictures of each other standing near the luminarias.

Snap.

Serene ones huddled near the candles.

Snap.

And, funny ones pretending to be lit on fire.

Snap.

Neither noticed as it started to drizzle, and it came as a big suprise when the sun began to rise.

"I had fun." The girl said quietly, knowing that she would have to leave, people may or may not be looking for her.

"Me too." The boy answered, the smile from the night not leaving his face.

As she turned to walk away he ask "Will I ever see you again?"

"Yes."
♥

As she walked away she could have sworn that she heard a snap.




Thanks for reading!!
I wish I could put a picture of Luminarias in here, but it's one of those things that you should see in person, rather than on a picture.
