Isabel drove the car to the end of road and parked. "Come on," she told Wyatt. "It's just a bit of a hike into the hills there."

"Doesn't it? As soon as I was able to drive I used to head out into the desert and just look for hours," Isabel replied, automatically trying to pick out constellations as more stars appeared.

"I think I was looking for answers. For where home was. The thing I've realized, hell, even before we went to Antar, is that home is here, with the people I love."

"Somehow having wishes come true in real life doesn't work out quite the same way it does in the fairly tales." Isabel brushed a kiss over his jaw. "The weird thing is? Now? I'm okay with that."

"Me too," Wyatt said, moving his head so he could capture her lips with his. "Funny how things work out like that."

"Hilarious even," she murmured, happily returning the kiss. "I told them we wouldn't be home till later."

"Plenty of time to stargaze then," Wyatt said, grinning.

"If that's what we're calling it now?" Isabel teased. But the stars were bright, Wyatt's arms were warm around her and she couldn't think of a better way to spend an evening.
