Drabble: Midnight (Gorky Park)
Title: Midnight
Author: melanie_anne
Fandom: Gorky Park
Characters: Arkady Renko/Irina Asanova
Disclaimer: Not my characters.
Word count: 100
A/N: Written for Emma DeMarais for Yuletide.
For weeks after Irina leaves, Arkady wakes in the middle of the night and reaches for her before remembering she is no longer there. He runs his hand over the sheet, remembering the way her skin felt under his touch. He closes his eyes and pictures her smile. For a moment he imagines her hair brushing softly over his face.
He tells himself he doesn't love her, but he doesn't know how else to describe the empty feeling in his heart.
Strange, that such a brief encounter has such power over him.
He wonders if he'll ever see her again.
