“What are you doing?” she asked. She knew that it would take a moment for him to reply so she waited patiently.
The night stretched out towards infinity, the lazy gold moon nestled in the starry tapestry.
He smiled softly looking up from the blanket on the lawn. “I’m looking at the sky.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s there.”
It was her turn to smile; she should have expected that answer. “Okay. Can I watch too?”
He patted the ground next to him. “The more the merrier.”
She snuggled down next to him and looked up. “Now what do we do?”
He took her hand and held it. “Lay back and relax.”
She did so, engaged by the sparkling distant stars.
“Lay back…relax…and breathe.”
She breathed and the world slipped away and the universe enveloped her. “Wow.”
He smiled again. “Yeah.” Silently they watched the stars together for a good long while.
