I looked up at the sky and remembered that night, so long ago, when you woke me up in the middle of the night and dragged me outside to lay on a picnic blanket and look up at the stars. _&quot;It's beautiful, isn't it?&quot; you asked me, and I nodded my head against your chest. You used to hate it when I did that - my hair always tickled your face._ _&quot;D'you see that star right there?&quot; you asked me, extending an arm in the direction of the sky. I nodded again. Your arm tightened around my shoulders. &quot;That one can be ours,&quot; you said, whispering in my ear._ _The cicadas were buzzing in the trees nearby. Noise from the cars passing by on Main Street. Somewhere, distantly, a radio played softly, the sound carried on the wind. Fireflies in the bushes. But, in that moment, all that existed was you and me and the coconut-y smelly of sunscreen on your skin._ _&quot;Evie,&quot; you said. &quot;Every time you look at that star, I'm thinking about you.&quot;_ I sat outside on the deck, looking at our star and wishing it was still true. 2007-07-28T04:05:13Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/5412 <p>drop_dead_gorgeous. :]]</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5412?basename=5658 2007-07-28T04:05:13Z RunningWithScissors http://ficlets.com/authors/hopeless_x0 <p>Absolutely lovely!!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5412?basename=5455 2007-07-26T16:54:30Z Fyora Cartagan http://ficlets.com/authors/fyoramacragge <p>Thank you! =)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5412?basename=5045 2007-07-22T02:12:40Z [pens&feathers] http://ficlets.com/authors/rhapsodyyinblu <p>Lovely romantic tone to it and still somewhat tragic. Nice. Not that tragedy is nice, but the piece is nice, despite the tragic part.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5412?basename=5033 2007-07-21T17:34:25Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>i loveeeeeeeeeeee ittttttt♥♥</p> <p>much luv<br />props givenn</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/5412?basename=5031 2007-07-21T15:54:01Z One Time, One Chance http://ficlets.com/authors/one_chance <p>Oh, blissfully sweet.
