IT ALREADY FELT PERFECT. Lucy never pegged Ryan as a guy who enjoyed something as mundane as stargazing, more the jet-skis and high-living kind of Hilltopper but he surprised her every day. She'd never expected to hear from him again after the masque either, so sure his parents had practically forbidden him from seeing her again, that the rumors they spread in retaliation to her hiding in the wrong room had all but sealed the deal.

"Should i be worried about who else you've brought up here to see the stars?" She throws herself down on the blanket gratefully, resolutely not thinking about much this thing probably cost, worn out sneakers kept as far away as possible. A part of her feels bad for the implication but, well, she actually likes Ryan, despite all the crazy his family brings and the damage they could do. She needs to know she's not taking the risk for no reason, needs to know he's serious about this.

Ryan spread out the blanket for Lucy to sit on. "Alright, I know it looks boring now, but once the sun sets, it'll get dark and we can see the stars. This is the best spot in Horseshoe Bay to see them, trust me." He grinned. "It's going to be perfect."
