“We stopped right in the center and I just stared at how beautiful the summer sky looked. Stark tugged on my arm and we lay on our backs looking at the stars. Finally I heard myself whisper, their beautiful. He whispered back, yeah. I never gave a thought to love but this night it sparked in my heart. I scooted just a little closer to him. He knew the feeling and put his arm around me and pulled me even closer. I guess you could say we were cuddling. I felt myself start to drown in this fantasy. I felt Stark kiss my forehead and then whisper something that sounded like be mine or this time. I started to drift when I heard a twig snap from somewhere in the trees. My eyes snapped open. I knew Stark had heard it to because he tensed then quickly got to his feet. I sat up straining my eyes to see. But nothing came. Stark just let out an easy breath. What now Heath? I got up to stand next to him. Who are you talking to?”
