In a voice just loud enough for the two of them, Josiah whispered, “The temperature in the mountains dips quite low. I noticed everyone brought their warm clothing. You should head back and change into yours soon. Even if it isn’t chilly now, it’ll serve as a good cover when the night sets in.”

Caught off guard, Lysander hesitantly admitted in a soft, awkward voice, “I’ve actually forgotten to bring

mine.”

Anticipating this, Josiah nodded understandingly. “Don’t worry, I’ve packed it for you. It’s in the luggage I brought up to your room.”

Over the days they had spent together, Lysander had found herself thanking Josiah more times than she could count. For a moment, she chose silence over repeating the same formalities, a silent acknowledgment of his thoughtfulness.

Josiah, recognizing the departure from her usual formality, couldn’t help but smile subtly, pleased by the personal connection that seemed to be deepening between them.

As the evening drew in, the temperature began to fall, and the day gave way to night much quicker than expected. By the time they reached the campsite, stars were just beginning to prick the velvety darkness of the sky.

The campsite, often deserted during this season, was entirely theirs for the night.

As Josiah set about pitching the tents with practiced efficiency, he kept in mind the responsibility Maverick had entrusted him with.

Despite being an amateur at camping, Maverick rolled up his sleeves and offered his help, “It looks like you could use a hand. Setting up a tent isn’t just about following the instructions; getting the frame right is the first step.”

Josiah, concerned about Maverick overexerting himself, quickly intervened, “Please let me handle this. You should take it easy.”

Off to the side, Maverick, seeing his wife and daughter busily preparing for the barbecue, leaned in closer to Josiah and whispered, “Jose, the medicine–you arranged for it to be delivered, didn’t you?”

Josiah nodded slightly.

Maverick smiled, a knowing glint in his eyes, “I thought as much. When the waiter unexpectedly brought it over as a gift, and it turned out to be medicine, I figured it was your doing.”

“Have you taken it?”

“I have, and honestly, it works wonders. I haven’t felt this pain–free in a long time.”

Maverick’s words were a stark reminder of the pain he had been silently enduring. As soon as he had received the medicine, he sought out water to take it, eager for even a moment’s relief.

Josiah considered Lysander’s request that had led to this moment and felt the weight of the responsibility she had placed in his hands. Yet, for the sake of both father and daughter, he kept his actions discreet.

As the evening progressed, the campsite came alive with the crackle of the barbecue and the soft chatter of

Despite the Milky Way being a year–round phenomenon, its visibility and brilliance were often at their peak in the summer. That night, their luck with the weather would determine their view.

Lysander stood beneath the expanding canopy of stars, hands closely joined, eyes closed in silent prayer, hoping for a clear view of the galaxy.

At precisely seven o’clock, perhaps in answer to her prayers, a swath of the Milky Way appeared, slicing through the night sky with its luminescent beauty, captivating everyone present.

Michelle, having never witnessed such a spectacle, clapped her hands in awe and exclaimed, “Is that the

Before she could dash forward for a closer look, Lysander gently pulled her back, cautioning her to watch her step.
