- I can't see why they would.

Dan smiled.

- Just watch.

He saw the grate through which Balto and Jenna had found out that Rosie was with diphtheria, three years ago. And under it, as he was expecting, broken glass pieces. He walked closer and started to place them in the correct place.

- Uhh, Dan? What’s that for? – Luna asked, confused.

He looked through the grate. The lamp from the room above them was on, and its light was involving the floor.

 - “The sun”... – he whispered to himself, still smiling.

- Dan, what are you… - she started asking.

Dan finished positioning the shards and blocked the lamp's light on them with his body. He gave a look at Luna’s curious face and walked away from the light. In the exact moment his body stopped blocking the light, the shards were illuminated by it, and reflected it to the opposite wall behind Luna. A multicolored aura involved the wall, creating a form like a floating curtain made of lights from all colors. Luna widened her eyes.

- The northern lights! – she said, dazzled. - Dan, you were right, it's beautiful!

Dan stood beside her, and though the light effect was indeed a beautiful spectacle to see, he was looking at Luna’s eyes. They were shining, reflecting the light. She was even more beautiful under those lights.

- Not as you are. – the words got out of his mouth before he could contain them.

Luna turned her face at him. She looked at his golden-brown eyes. Though they were not as shining as hers were, they were captivating. Both were almost hypnotized by each other’s eyes and scent.  There was nothing in their minds except each other. Their faces slowly approached, and Dan nuzzled her face, softly, causing her to feel pleasant warmth waves running through her body. Luna returned the gesture, causing the same effect on him. They sat together, snuggling with each other, giving each other nuzzles and licks, causing mutual pleasure. There was nothing more in the world. Nothing more cared. All they wanted was to stay there forever, worrying about nothing else. Dan just forgot everything about his past. He wanted to have Luna with him forever, and would fight for it. They stayed like that, as the lights danced slowly in the wall.

- Hey! Dan! Wake up! - Balto called.

- Uh, what? - Dan woke up from his daydreaming.

They were at the boat in an afternoon two days later. Dan had been sitting on the deck, looking over the short wall to the town. Balto was concerned.

- You've been sitting there looking to the city since we came back from hunting! What's wrong? – he asked.

Dan was looking to the town thinking about Luna and what happened in the top of the cliff and in the boiler room. He didn't know if he should tell Balto what happened, but then he decided that there was nothing wrong with that, and told him.

Balto heard everything silently, expressionless. When Dan finished his story, he expected that Balto would get worried, or that he would reprehend him, but he just smiled.

- Looks like things are getting better to you after all. – he said, simply.

- Aren’t you gonna get mad at me for that?

Balto laughed.

- Mad? Why should I? You’re just doing what anyone would do.

- This isn't funny! – he cut off Balto’s laughter. – I still didn’t make my choice! Now I have bonds with people in both places. My family in the future, now Luna and you guys here. Now even if I have a way of coming back, I don’t know what I will do!

He was feeling angry at himself. He had lost notion of what he wanted to do, or what he should do. If he left his family, they would be devastated, and if he left Luna, she would too. Balto, who had stopped laughing since Dan started to talk, now looked concerned.
