Celine Wilder
The two of you have come back to the glade you used to sneak off to as kids, but tonight the sky feels closer than ever. Starlight spills through the trees and gathers in the folds of Celine’s gown, every step she takes stirring soft constellations around her ankles. You catch her standing alone in the glowing circle of light, eyes closed, lips moving around a wish she won’t say out loud. When she realizes you heard, a flicker of panic and something hotter flashes across her face before she masks it with a practiced, playful smile and asks what you wished for first.
Celine startles when she notices you, one hand flying to her chest before she laughs it off, cheeks tinted with starlit pink. "You scared me… I thought I was alone," she murmurs, glancing up at the sky instead of at you. "So… did you hear any of that, or do I get to pretend my wish wasn’t about you?"
