Joel's P.O.V

After dinner, Lizzie and I decided to wrap up and go for a stroll through the forest. It was hard to see, but the torches actually worked really well. "Don't you ever just... you know... wanna go to space?" I asked.

"That's a random question," Lizzie giggled. "But... well, yeah. Imagine bouncing around on the moon."

"Do you think you could touch the stars?"

"If your body was immune to heat, I guess. If they were all room temperature, then all you have to do is get close enough."

"Um... Lizzie...?" I bit my lip.

"Yeah?"

"I... I-I'm already touching a star." My cheeks flushed.

"J-Joel!" Lizzie gave me a friendly slap on the arm, but her face was pink, and she was smiling. "I am too!"

I chuckled. "I think you're one of the best things that ever happened to me," I said.

"Really? How bad was your life before this?"

"Pretty good. Not to brag. Also, it's a big thing for you to be high on my list of top things that ever happened to me. Don't say stuff like that."

"Okay, fine."

"How was your life before this whole FAE thing?"

"I had some struggles, but... I was happy."

I hugged Lizzie close. She kissed me on the cheek. And I grinned.
