The following weekend, Robin planned a quiet evening for them, a chance to escape from studies and responsibilities and simply be together. He led her to a small clearing on the edge of campus where a blanket and lanterns were set up, casting a soft glow around them. The night air was cool, and they wrapped up in each other’s warmth under the stars.
As they lay together, Robin brushed a strand of hair away from Tiara’s face, his eyes soft and full of adoration. There was a sense of peace in the air, a quiet magic that made everything feel timeless. He reached for her hand, lacing his fingers with hers.
“Tiara,” he murmured, “there’s so much I feel when I’m with you. Words aren’t enough, but maybe… maybe these are.”
He took a deep breath, and softly, almost like a whisper, he spoke:
"In the quiet where shadows dance,
I find my soul in your gentle glance.
With each heartbeat, closer we draw,
You are my peace, my breath, my awe."
Tiara felt her heart stir, the words touching places deep within her that only Robin could reach. She squeezed his hand, her own emotions welling up, and after a moment, she answered, her voice just as soft.
"In your arms, I find my home,
A world that's ours, where love has grown.
Through every twist, every tear,
You are my strength, my heart, my dear."
They held each other close, letting their words fill the spaces between them, bridging any distance that might have lingered. For that night, the past and the future faded, and it was just them, wrapped in their love and the poetry of their hearts.
Their expressions turned to smiles, then laughter, as they realized how perfectly they echoed each other’s sentiments. As the night deepened, their closeness grew even more, their embrace lingering, their kisses gentle but filled with passion. Wrapped in each other’s arms, they felt a sense of completeness, a rare and beautiful certainty.
The rest of the night was theirs—filled with whispered promises, quiet laughter, and the kind of love that felt timeless. Each moment, each touch, reminded them of what they shared and why they had chosen one another. It was as though, under that vast, starlit sky, they had found the world in each other’s eyes.
