“Because water is always flowing, always moving, just like us.”
I nodded, seeing how that made sense.
“Look!” Rex said, pointing upwards.
I looked up just in time to catch the sight of a star shooting across the sky like falling glitter.
“Did you see that?” Rex asked me animatedly.
I nodded while staring in wonder. The sight of the stars brought back the memory of the night Rex and I fell asleep beneath them, back when my world was still a perilous, uncertain place. Everything seemed so different then. Less clear.
The future was still unknown. I knew that. A crystal ball couldn’t provide me a definite clarity within the realm of its sphere. However, there really was something sweet about ignorance, and something even sweeter about going down a road that wasn’t foretold. I looked forward to it.
“Did you make a wish?”
Rex weaved his fingers through mine. “I did,” he admitted. “I wished this moment would last forever.”
I turned to face Rex, locking my arms around his neck. “That was a perfect wish.”
