Night in the swamp. A dark moon hangs silent and brooding over the trees, and even the stars are blotted out by ragged clouds scudding across the sky. He looks up through a break in the canopy as he waits, knowing that this meeting is a fool’s errand, but unable to help himself. It is as inevitable as the stages of the moon.

And the worst part is that he intends to be a traitor to his love in return.
