Chapter 491 - Stargazing (1/2)

As soon as the lights were off, they were engulfed with total darkness. So dark that they could see thousands of stars with their naked eye. Even the Milky Way shines visibly. J who was about to say something gasped at the sight above her.

She stood up and turns around looking at the sky. Anywhere she looks, there were stars that glitter in its brightest.

”Jacob... where are we?” J asked. She was thinking, did they enter some portal or something that leads them to that magical place? Because the place is something that she could only see in pictures and doubts if it actually did exist.

”I believe, we are in the darkest place in Hellebore. Or probably darkest place in the country. Well at least, I've never been anywhere as dark as this place.” Jacob said watching J. He has seen this place a lot of times already but he was more mesmerized by the look on his wife's face. For him, it was more magical.

”Oh, my...” J was out for words. She felt like she was floating in the space. She sits down beside Jacob. All this time, Jacob is only watching her. Stargazing at that place was one of the things that he usually does whenever they come to Hellebore. He had seen a lot of bright stars but nothing can be compared to the stars reflecting on J's eyes.

”You like it?”

”I love it,” J replied without inhibitions. She looked at Jacob who is staring at her intently and she smiled. Her smile is brighter than the Milky Way. Jacob thought.

”Thank you,” J said in a heartfelt tone.

”Anything for you, Sweetheart,” Jacob replied. He could see her eyes glistened with tears but it never falls. He could feel how elated she is at the moment.

J continued to look up at the stars. Jacob was worried that she might get a stiff neck so he pulled her down to lay on his arms. ”You could see them comfortably if we lay here.”

J positioned herself comfortably and she realized that he was right. The night is cold but their body warmed them up. Additionally, they are wearing thick clothes and wrapped in a thick blanket.

”Why is it so dark here?” J asked.
