Author's Note: This is a response to the Drabble Word Challenge for the word "twilight" and is my first 100 word drabble. "Gloaming" is another word for "twilight" or "dusk" and it's just one of those words I love. Don't be surprised if this eventually turns up in a longer fic.

"It's beautiful."

"Yeah," he whispered.

He watched, oblivious to the setting sun.
