The two then spend a couple of hours at the garden, just talking and enjoying the peacefulness of it. They both had fun catching up and laughing together. It was like no time had passed. They had watched the sun go down, the sky becoming dark. The stars were shining and the moon was out. It was a perfect night and the garden was beautiful, but Ben could barely take his eyes off Elisa.
He had missed her so much. It had been hard without her by his side. She was always there to encourage him and to comfort him when he was sad or scared. No one had been able to fill the empty spot she had left. He had missed having her around and he was so happy to have her back. He would do anything for her. As they walked back to the school, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful the moonlight made her. Her blond hair shined and her blue eyes sparkled in the soft light. She was absolutely stunning. He had always thought that she was beautiful, but he had never been more aware of it than he was at this moment.
Elisa felt the weight of his gaze, and her heart raced. She couldn't help but feel self-conscious, wondering if she looked as flustered as she felt. She wasn't sure what was happening between them, but she knew that something was shifting. She had spent years burying her feelings for him, trying to deny the truth. But she couldn't deny it any longer. Not when he was looking at her like that.
"You're staring." Elisa pointed out, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. She knew it was bold, but she couldn't help herself.
Ben flushes, ducking his head. "Sorry," He apologizes, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "It's just...You're beautiful, Elisa. You always have been, but tonight...You're absolutely radiant." He admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. He couldn't believe he had just said that out loud, but it was the truth.
Elisa's heart skipped a beat at his words and she could feel the heat rising in her cheeks. She was rarely at a loss for words, but in that moment, she was utterly speechless. "Benny..." Elisa whispers, her eyes wide with surprise and delight. He had called her beautiful before, but never like this. She had stopped walking, looking over at him. He was staring at her with an expression that was a mixture of adoration and awe. This was so much different from the other times when he called her beautiful. His gaze was filled with so much emotion and he looked so sincere. It took her breath away. "Thank you...You're so sweet." She stammered, trying to collect herself.
Ben smiled at her, his gaze soft and tender. He could hardly believe how beautiful she looked, and the way her hair blew gently in the breeze, the moonlight illuminating her face. "It's the truth, El." He stated softly, reaching up and brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
Elisa felt her breath hitch at his touch and she fought the urge to lean into his hand. She couldn't believe this was actually happening. Ben was looking at her like she was the only woman in the world and it was making her head spin. She was pretty sure she had never seen him look at anyone like that before, not even Audrey. Ben couldn't help but notice how the moonlight illuminated her features, highlighting her cheekbones and making her blue eyes seem even more striking. He couldn't tear his gaze away from her, entranced by her beauty.
