I expect him to ask if I’d had something to drink tonight. I’m already internally yelling at myself for saying that out loud. But he tilts his head back and follows my line of sight. “They’re light-years apart and I know from experience that even being right next to someone can be lonely. But I think for a star it’s a lot different.” He pauses and turns his head slowly until his eyes are on me again. “I think stars glow brighter than any light in the world, and just being able to see another star—to know it’s out there—is enough to soothe them. You beat loneliness by realizing there’s a whole world out there, not just you.” I close my eyes and feel my lips tug into a smile. This man— he’s slowly entering my heart. “You’re a poet too.” He runs his hand through his hair and grips the back of his neck. “That’s stretching it, Max.” “No, it isn’t,” I disagree. “That was probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.” A slow, easy grin spreads across his lips, his eyes still lingering on me. My heart starts to pick up the slightest bit, sending shivers down my back. Knowing the rarity of those smiles, and that he’s already given me so many tonight, makes me feel a little drunk. It’s going to be my life’s mission to see him smile, no matter how much that scares me. BUY LINKS: |
