The cold wind blew fiercely, causing her hair to skew her view of the night sky. He propped himself up next to her, and tucked the strayed strands behind her ear. She met his gaze and smiled.

"You're going to miss it," she said softly; the visible puff of breath that carried her words drifting up and away.

"I think we still have time," he replied with a smile.

The two were laying out in a field, on the top of blankets laid out below them, and another on top to keep them warm. His short hair was kept hidden beneath the hat he always wore. Her brown eyes stayed with his hazel ones for a moment longer before he laid back down. She repositioned herself so she could lay on his outstretched arm.

The night sky was littered with stars, twinkling much like diamons strewn about. Every so often, meteors would streak by, many leaving without a trace. The few that left trails of their dying light were named as they passed, memories of a former life the girl had left behind. He listened intently as she spun her story, weaving a web so intricate he was left wondering how he could possibly get caught in something so magnificent as her life. His tale was so painfully simple, he felt, as she continued to speak of things he never even considered. At some point he no longer heard her soft voice, and he turned to find her staring back at him.

"You're going to miss it," he offered to her.

"As long as I'm here with you, I won't miss anything."

He considered her words for a moment then looked back at the sky. She took a deep breath and exhaled, and watched as her breath clouded up above her and slowly dissipated. As the air cleared up, the brightest meteor they'd seen all night made its way across the sky. It passed as quickly as the others but it was the largest one they'd seen and left of trail that lasted several seconds. Her eyes went wide, and she smiled.

"Wow.." he said quietly. She didn't say anything this time, she only scooted closer to him, laid her head on his chest, and wrapped her arms around him.
