She nudged Elijah's arm, his eyes moving down to her face from the gleaming stars up above them.
A smile spread across his lips, "You're mine."

"You're mine." She whispered back. A smile reaching her own mouth before he leaned down, gently brushing his thumb over the smile that had just began to spread over her face.
She leaned up so her lips could met his.
The entire world could explode and it wouldn't faze her in this moment. It was perfect, he was perfect.
