    The hills beyond the city were quiet at night—too high for most people to climb, too dark for many to feel safe. But there she was, standing barefoot in the cool grass, her eyes gazing up at the stars above. Her long veil shimmered softly in the moonlight, making her look almost magical. Around her floated strange lanterns that sparkled as if they were made of stardust, casting a gentle glow that lit up the darkness.

    You felt a pull, a reason to move closer, but part of you wanted to turn back. She seemed too distant, too otherworldly, like a character from a fairy tale. Just when you thought about leaving, she spoke up without even glancing down at you.

    "You followed the sky, too," she said, her voice soft and melodic, like a sweet song carried by the wind. It felt as if her words were wrapped in mist, making them seem even more special. "It only calls to certain hearts. "

    Now she turned to face you fully, her gaze steady and filled with curiosity. It was as if she could see right into your soul.

    "Come sit with me," she invited, her tone warm and welcoming. "The stars are aligned strangely tonight… and it’s always easier to read them with someone beside you. "

    You felt a sense of comfort wash over you. Somehow, her presence made the night feel alive, as if the entire universe had paused for a moment just to listen to the two of you. The grass beneath your feet felt soft and cool, and the air was filled with the scent of night-blooming flowers.
