The lanterns shimmered across the night sky as you and Pedri floated together in the small wooden boat, the glow reflecting in his warm brown eyes. “I’ve waited my whole life to see this,” you whispered, your voice barely louder than the rippling water. Pedri smiled softly, reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind your ear. “And I’ve waited my whole life to see it with you,” he said, his tone full of wonder. The air was quiet, except for the gentle hum of magic all around.
As the lanterns drifted higher, you felt the world fade away—no tower, no fear, just the two of you beneath a sky of light. Pedri’s hand found yours, and for a moment, it felt like time stood still. “You’re my new dream,” he murmured, echoing the soft glow that surrounded you both. You leaned closer, smiling as you realized that maybe your story wasn’t just about escaping the tower—it was about finding where you truly belonged, right there with him.
