Excerpt:
Sirius was leaning on the tasting counter at Moniack Highland Winery, savoring the aftertaste of their dark, rich honeywine, when he decided he was being ridiculous. The entire point of his trip to Scotland had been to get away from his family and all the too-restrictive rules and expectations that made up his life. And what had he done? Only gone and made a lot of new rules to make himself miserable. If he wanted to see Remus again, there was no earthly reason why he shouldn't do just that. He had enjoyed their time together, and it seemed like Remus had, too.
As soon as he thought it, his heart began to beat faster and sweat prickled his palms. He was going to see Remus again. It was going to happen. It was as simple as getting a bus from Inverness and heading south. He could be there in a matter of hours. What he would say to the other man -- well, he would figure that part out when he got there.
