the sun had set, and the moon was at the top of the world. the stars twinkled over my head as i lay there, motionless, on the ground.
i stared up. “they’re beautiful,” i whispered, and closed my eyes.
“just like you.”
i opened my eyes and looked to my right, where the voice had come from. nelson got down and laid next to me.
“hey, nelson.”
“hey, hayleybear.” we looked up into what seemed like the never-ending sky together. “the stars . . .” he started. i felt his hand wrap around mine. his hands were warm. “they shine so bright. they’re beautiful, and seem to never lose their shine.” he turned his head my way, and i did back. “like you.”
