Moonlight

(If you'd like to check it out, I wrote the first half of this chapter to the song, Sad March by Eliane. The second half was written with the song, My Home by Savina & Drones)

Shamo says her goodbyes before shifting away. Bai Lei and I walk out to the garden to see that it was completely empty. I slip my hand into Bai Lei's, earning a smile as we slowly walk over to the table under the large willow tree. 

A gentle night breeze sways the drooping branches as a few fireflies dance to music only they can hear. Bai Lei leads us past the table and straight to the pond with a mirror-like surface. Stars from the dark sky reflect on the pond's surface as we come to a stop.

Looking out over the pond, I slowly look up and softly say "I never really noticed before but... why is there no moon here?" Bai Lei chuckles low and steps behind me before pulling me close against his chest.
