Chapter 121: Is she your mate?

Aniston's POV

I stared at the ceiling like I was just noticing for the first time that it wasn't really a white colored ceiling; it had tiny blue dots that were almost invisible. They looked hidden, like they were secrets to be discovered. They were beautiful.

Then I was no longer staring at the ceiling but the clear night sky, like I could see through the bedroom ceiling to the beauty above.

I could count the stars forever and I wouldn't be able to count them all.

I knew it was just my mind playing tricks on me by creating a space where I could have a moment of peace without my ridiculous life getting in the way.

Slowly, the stars shone brighter but one caught my attention. It stood out. Like it was unbothered and it wasn't trying to impress anyone with its light, yet that star somehow was the brightest.

No matter where I turned to face, my eyes unwillingly came back to the lone star.

Slowly, the room returned to normal, there were no more stars and there was no more brightness.
