The Chateau’s bonfire hissed, sparks drifting into the starry void. While John B and Sarah swayed nearby, JJ reclined on a sandy blanket beside you. Firelight danced in his ocean-blue eyes as he studied her. “What’s going on in that beautiful brain of yours?” he teased, nudging her knee.

You’re home to me.” He pulled her close, foreheads touching, sealing their bond under the stars.
