"You're thoughtful," I remarked, my gaze fixed on Jacob who lay beside me.
"I don't deserve all the credit," he replied, adjusting his position by propping his head on his arm, "Most people know beaches look even better at night. The sea's beauty is unmatched." A smile appeared on my lips, for reasons unknown.
This moment with Jacob was beautiful. Our fingers intertwined, his eyes meeting mine, our breathing in sync, and the sky blending into the endless blue sea.
The gentle waves brushed against our feet, filling me with bliss.
"Not everyone," I sighed, gazing at the star-filled sky, like a magnificent, glittering veil. "Many fail to see its magnificence, finding it boring."
He remained silent, his eyes fixed on me.
I pulled Jacob's hand closer, tracing my fingers over its back as I admired the sky.
"Tell me something, Jacob," I turned my head to face him, "How many relationships have you had?"
A flicker passed through his eyes, a hint of hesitation evident. He seemed slightly uncomfortable.

"Mutually," he responded, "There were no strings attached, so it was always easy to break free and move on."
"This is why you don't want to settle down?" I asked, intrigued. "Did you fear it would restrict your freedom?
"Not really. We all have our reasons, some of which we prefer to keep hidden," he said, his voice softening. "My life has been complicated, Evelyn. I didn't want further complications. That's why I chose to live this way."
