Characters: Lupin/Snape
Warning: memories of a loved one gone
The sun made a dazzling display on the water, or perhaps it was just the tears in his eyes. The waves lapped at his feet, indifferent. Severus had hated the beach; groused about sand in his shoes, and the salt that made his skin itch. But he had always come for two weeks every summer to the little cottage nestled in the dunes.
Now Remus came alone, and the cries of the gulls mocked him. He had thought it might be healing, but at every turn something taunted him with memories of what was lost.
He would not come again.
