Roselyn's pout disappeared when he opened the bottle of wine, taking a sip before giving it back to her. She took a few gulps, the wine sweet on her tongue. Summer knew how to make their wine good, Spring made the champagne, Autumn the cider, and Winter had the whiskies and vodka, the harder stuff. Each season had their role in everything, liquor making, ball preparation, everything. "Think you'll still have time for running off after tonight?" she asked, her voice soft, unsure if she actually did just say that. "Sorry," she mumbled a minute later, knowing better than to doubt a king, than to doubt Rowan. She took another large drink from the bottle before laying herself down on the blanket, facing the night sky.
His hand felt like it was on fire, sitting there on her hip, but he refused to move it, opting to squeezing her hip gently. "It's nice to have the sky clear to actually see them," he murmured, before actually looking for constellations. "That one is Orion, you can tell because those stars in a line is his belt, he's easy to spot," he explained, "Just like the Big Dipper, because part of him is the North Star." Tate didn't like a lot of things, but gods, he loved the stars and if he could study them for the rest of his life then that would be it, everything he dreamed about and more.
