You look so pretty and I love this view. We fell in love in October. That’s why, I love fall. Looking at the stars, admiring from afar.

Sitting on the roof of her house at night is a common occurrence for you and Quinn. Is she supposed to be doing that? No. Neither are you, actually. But you both don’t care. It’s peaceful, just watching the stars and being in each other’s presence.

You always wonder how you got lucky enough to know Quinn. Like, really know her. Know her past the façade she puts up at school and around pretty much everyone. But you don’t doubt that she willingly let it happen. She wanted to open up to you and felt safe enough to be vulnerable.

The shared stories, experiences, laughter, it’s all a testament to how much you enjoy each other’s company. And it all comes back to sitting on the roof of her house when the stars are all out. You love how simple it is, and yet it makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Being alone with Quinn allows you to see her in a much more vulnerable state than you would around others or at school, and you feel lucky to be able to see that side of her.

It’s the first of October, which makes it a year since the first time you two sat on the roof and gazed up at the stars. Every night that month, you both made sure that you were sitting on her roof, watching the stars, and talking. It's the highlight of your day, everyday, and you're pretty sure it's the highlight of hers, too.

“Did you know you’re the reason I love fall?” She asks you, out of the blue. “I know it sounds silly, but it’s true. I never really cared much about fall before.” You turn your head to face her. “I love being here with you, just looking at the stars,” she says quietly, moving closer to you.
