"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.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about--" I couldn't finish my sentence because he spoke up.
"Not many," he sighed, "I never really sought long-term commitments. Most of the time, it was more casual. Though I did have a few relationships in the past."
"How did they end? On a good note or..." I left the question hanging, letting him fill in the rest.
"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."

The part where you learn to heal, live for yourself, and discover a new purpose?" I smiled gently, "Take my dad as an example. When my mother left him, he was devastated. His smiles were rare. But as time went on, he transformed. And you know what? My dad often tells me that I'm his reason for living, and I never doubt it because I've seen how much I mean to him.
