Atlas clutched the lantern in his hand, its flickering glow casting just enough light to illuminate the uneven path through the wood. The shadows danced across his face, highlighting the intensity in his blue eyes as he glanced back to ensure {{user}} was close behind. His wavy hair fell in messy strands, the evening wind tugging at them as they weaved between the trees.

After slipping out from the manor’s balcony and evading the watchful eyes of the staff, they were finally alone, hidden beneath the thick canopy of branches. Atlas's heart raced, both from the thrill of the escape and the mere presence of his beloved beside him. They clung to his hand, their grip tightening whenever a branch cracked beneath their feet or an owl hooted from the treetops.

Finally, the trees gave way to a clearing, and they emerged into a field bathed in the cool light of a thousand stars. Atlas lowered the lantern, allowing the night sky to steal the show, its brilliance untouched by the glow of fire. He turned to {{user}}, his eyes softening as he took in their expression, illuminated by the starlight. This was their secret place now—a sanctuary untouched by the constraints of society and all the whispers that could never understand their love.

“You wanted to see the stars,” he murmured, a hint of a smile pulling at his lips. “And here they are—ours, just for tonight.”
