As The Stars Aligned

Chapter 13

The city skyline glittered in the night; a breathtaking panorama that stretched as far as the eye could see. Novalie stood on the rooftop terrace of her penthouse, her heart pounding with excitement. She couldn't believe what she was about to do.

"Are you ready for this?" she asked, turning to Damien, who stood beside her. His eyes sparkled with a mixture of anticipation and thrill.

Damien grinned, his usual composure replaced by an infectious enthusiasm. "Absolutely! I can't believe we're doing this."

As they stood at the edge of the terrace, Novalie couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The night air was crisp, and the city lights spread out below them like a magnificent carpet of stars.

"Okay, then let's not waste any more time," Novalie said, her voice filled with a mix of anticipation and excitement. She took Damien's hand, her grip firm and reassuring, and led him to the edge. The distant sounds of the city's nocturnal activities provided a steady backdrop to their daring endeavor.

With a shared glance that spoke volumes, Novalie and Damien prepared to take the leap into the unknown. They both understood that this adventure would be a turning point in their lives, a memory they would carry with them forever. The prospect of the unexpected filled the air with electric energy.

Then, as if in perfect sync, Novalie and Damien leaped off the building. The cool breeze rushed past them, tousling their hair and creating a sensation of utter freedom. The world below became a blur of lights and shapes as they descended, and for those thrilling moments, they felt as if they were soaring above it all, untethered and alive.

As the ground approached, they knew that this leap was not just about the physical act but also a symbol of the exhilarating journey they were embarking on together. It was a daring start to a new chapter, and they couldn't wait to see where it would take them.

Novalie and Damien spread their arms wide, feeling the rush of air against their outstretched limbs as they soared through the night sky above Manhattan. The city, with its glittering lights and towering skyscrapers, stretched out beneath them like a sprawling sea of stars.

Their hearts raced in harmony with the exhilaration of the moment, and for those precious seconds, they were weightless, free from the constraints of the world below. It was a feeling of pure liberation, a shared experience that bound them together in a way words couldn't capture.

As they descended, the cityscape gradually became more defined, the individual buildings and streets taking shape once more. Novalie and Damien touched down gracefully, their feet landing on a rooftop, the thrill of their impromptu flight still coursing through their veins.

Breathing heavily from the excitement, they exchanged smiles that held a promise of more adventures to come. The night was theirs, and with each passing moment, their connection deepened, cementing a bond that went beyond the ordinary.

"That was so much fun!" Novalie exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Damien couldn't help but share her enthusiasm. "Yeah, it really was," he agreed, his voice laced with exhilaration. "Who would have known that wingsuit flying would be so thrilling?"

Novalie chuckled. "Right, But now, we'll have to make our way back home, and I don't think this building is high enough for us to take flight again," she remarked, looking down from the building.

"How about we call one of our friends?" Damien suggested, reaching for his phone. He soon realized he didn't have it with him. "Do you have your phone? I think I left mine back at the penthouse," he asked, looking at Novalie.
