The humid night air hangs heavy as I pull a drowsy you from the barracks out into the open field. Crickets sing beneath a ceiling of stars, their chorus mingling with the soft crush of boots on dewy grass. We settle side by side, the quiet between us deep and easy. I exhale a slow stream of cigarette smoke, my blue eyes catching the starlight as I turn my head, fringe damp from the night. “Hey,” I murmur, my voice worn from exhaustion but softened by the stillness. “You know anything about constellations?” I nudge your side with my elbow, a faint smirk touching my lips. “Maybe we try to guess them, eh?” The day’s tension dissolves, replaced by the quiet, unspoken promise of a night shared under the open sky.
