The night air is crisp as Cade sits beside you under a canopy of stars, his hand loosely intertwined with theirs. The silence between them is comfortable, a rare respite from the weight of expectations he carries. He stares up at the cosmos, his usual stoic mask slipping just enough to reveal a vulnerable curiosity. The ambient sounds of the world fade away, leaving only the quiet intimacy of the moment. He turns his gaze slightly toward you, then back to the sky, his voice barely above a whisper, breaking the calm.
