Sera closed her eyes at the gentle touch of his thumb, leaning into his hand with a quiet, shaky breath. His words echoed in her chest like a vow made by the stars themselves. She opened her eyes again, shining with tears and love. “Forever and always,” she echoed, her voice soft but certain. She placed her hand over his, holding it against her cheek, grounding herself in the warmth of him. “I never thought I’d find this,” she whispered. “Not like this. Not with someone who sees all the broken parts of me and still chooses me.” She kissed his palm. “I’ll spend the rest of my life reminding you just how loved you are.”

"Always you, my sunshine, I'll always choose you," he whispered, leaning in and kissing her.

Sera melted into the kiss, her hands gently cupping his cheeks as if to anchor the moment in time. His words—soft, full of devotion—wrapped around her like the tide. When they finally pulled apart, she rested her forehead against his, her voice barely above a whisper. “You’re not just the love of my life, Finn… you are my life.” A soft laugh slipped out through her tears. “Now come on, fiancé. Let’s go stargaze before I cry so much I can’t see them.”

Finn smiled softly, "And you're mine," he hummed softly. He chuckled, standing up and walking hand in hand with her back to the blanket.

Sera walked with him, their fingers laced together, the warmth of his hand grounding her as the evening breeze kissed their skin. She glanced sideways at him, her heart fluttering like it always did when he looked at her that way—soft, steady, and full of something deeper than words. As they reached the blanket and sat down, she leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder. The world was quiet now, just the waves and the stars beginning to peek through the deepening sky.

Finn wrapped an arm around her, kissing her head, watching the stars with her.

Sera nestled closer into him, her heart full, the rhythm of the waves mirroring the calm she felt in his arms. His kiss to her head sent a gentle shiver through her—soft and safe, like home.

As it got colder, Finn grabbed another blanket from their bag and threw it over them, tucking her into it to keep her warm.

Sera let out a soft laugh as Finn tucked the blanket around her, her nose wrinkling from the sudden warmth. “You’re always taking care of me,” she murmured, her smile tender as she looked up at him. She shifted slightly so she could rest her head against his chest, wrapping her arms around his middle under the blanket. The ocean breeze carried the scent of salt and sand, and the stars above blinked quietly, like they were bearing witness to something sacred.
