The night air bit with a clean, cold sharpness as we lay side-by-side on the rooftop, the grid of city lights a muted glow far below. Above us, the cosmos unveiled itself in impossible detail, a spill of diamonds sharp against the deep velvet dark. I lifted a hand, tracing a line between the stars, my silhouette a cutout against the infinite. Then, fire streaked through the atmosphere—a silent, brilliant shower of meteors painting the sky. The moment stretched, intimate and vast, holding its breath. "Look. Make a wish," you whispered, the words barely a sound. I squeezed my eyes shut, lips parting around a silent, fervent hope, before opening them again to meet the night, a secret smile curving my mouth just for you.
