I wanted to do something truly special for Faith, something that went beyond the ordinary. Paris or a fancy dinner didn't quite capture what I had in mind. With Zack's help, I was able to come up with a plan that I hoped would bring a touch of magic to our journey together. It was a concept that was all about her, about making her wishes come true, like in those fairytales we both loved.

Sitting in my room, my heart raced as I typed out a message to Faith. I wanted to convey the anticipation and excitement that I felt:
"Hey Faith, how about we embark on a little adventure tonight? Something out of the ordinary, something magical. Imagine for a moment that you could wish upon a star, what would that wish be? Let's meet at our favorite spot by the river at 8 pm. Let's make dreams come to life."

As I hit send, I imagined her reading the message. I pictured her expression, the way her eyes would light up with curiosity and wonder. I hoped she'd feel the sincerity behind the invitation, the effort I had put into making this moment meaningful.

The clock ticked away, and the minutes felt like hours as I waited for her response. I could almost hear her laughter, the sound of her voice as she considered the proposition. This was a chance to show her how much she meant to me, to create a memory that would be woven into the fabric of our story.

The phone buzzed, and my heart skipped a beat as her reply appeared on the screen:
"Hey Jake, an adventure sounds intriguing! If I could wish upon a star, I'd wish for moments like these to last forever. Can't wait to see what you have in store. See you at 8 pm."

Her words were like music to my ears. I couldn't help but smile, knowing that she understood the sentiment behind my invitation. As the hours passed, I found myself daydreaming about the night ahead. I wanted everything to be perfect, to exceed her expectations and create a memory that would remain etched in our hearts.

As the sun began to set, I made my way to our favorite spot by the river. The world around me seemed to hold its breath in anticipation. I could feel my heart racing as I thought about the surprise that awaited her. This was a chance to show her just how much she meant to me, to bring a touch of magic to our lives just like the stories we loved.

As the clock struck 8 pm, I saw Faith approaching, her smile radiant and her eyes filled with curiosity. This was it, the moment when dreams would come true, when I would give her a memory that she'd cherish forever. The stars above twinkled in the night sky, as if ready to witness the magic that was about to unfold.

As Faith approached our meeting spot by the river, her eyes lit up with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. I couldn't help but feel a rush of nerves and anticipation as I saw her draw nearer. This was the moment I had been planning for, the moment when I hoped to create a memory that would forever be etched in our hearts.

"Hey," she greeted with a smile, her voice carrying a blend of wonder and anticipation.

"Hey," I replied, returning her smile. "I'm so glad you're here."

Faith looked around, her curiosity piqued. "So, what's the adventure? What's the magical surprise?"

I gestured towards the blanket I had laid out on the grass, adorned with a picnic basket, fairy lights, and a small telescope. "Well, I thought we could start with a bit of stargazing. It's a clear night, and the stars are shining just for us."

Her eyes sparkled with delight as she took in the setup. "This is amazing, Jake. I love it."

As we settled onto the blanket, I handed her the small telescope. "I remember how you mentioned wanting to see the stars up close. Tonight, let's make that happen."

Faith's excitement was palpable as she peered through the telescope, her gasps of wonder music to my ears. The night sky was a canvas of sparkling stars, each one seeming to hold a secret and a promise.

As we gazed at the stars, I couldn't help but share my thoughts. "You know, people say that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true. So, tell me, Faith, if you could make a wish right now, what would it be?"

She looked at me, her expression thoughtful. "I'd wish for moments like these to last forever," she replied softly. "Moments filled with laughter, adventure, and the feeling of being truly alive."

My heart swelled with emotion at her words. "That's a beautiful wish," I said, my voice sincere.

Faith turned the telescope towards a particularly bright star. "What about you, Jake? If you could wish upon a star, what would you wish for?"

I looked at her, my gaze steady. "I'd wish for the chance to keep surprising you, to keep creating moments that make your heart race and your smile light up. I'd wish for our story to continue unfolding, full of love, laughter, and shared dreams."

For a moment, there was a quiet understanding between us, as if our wishes were hanging in the air, waiting to be heard by the stars themselves. And as we looked up at the night sky, I couldn't help but feel that in that moment, we were part of something much bigger than ourselves.

Under the stars, in the presence of someone who had become so integral to my life, I realized that sometimes the simplest moments held the most magic. Our adventure might not have been extravagant, but it was a memory that would forever be etched in our hearts – a memory of wishes, stars, and the promise of a love that was just as enchanting as any fairytale.

"Hey," she said, smiling. ''Hey. Thought of your wish?" I asked. She nodded, her eyes playful. "Yes."
"Okay, close your eyes and make a wish." She closed her eyes, and I got ready. Zack had arranged for a shooting star – a magical touch.

''Open your eyes," I said, pointing to the sky. A bright streak lit up the night. ''Did you see that?" she said, surprised. ''That was your wish," I said gently. Her smile grew, and I knew this would be a memorable moment. As we looked at the stars, I realized that sometimes, the best moments were the ones we created ourselves. The spot, the shooting star, the wishes – all part of our story.
