"Oh gods, Travis, stop," Katie laughs, holding her arms up and twisting away from his camera. She and Travis are on top of Half Blood Hill and a small bus waits on the road below.

Katie smiles as he lightly kisses her forehead, knowing that this is a moment that couldn't be ruined by a prank or the worst parts of the past. Only sun-kissed and moon-blessed by the best.
"Alright. Stars tonight. You're here, I'm there, but together, right?"
"Ah, don't be so cliche, dear Kate," Travis croons with fake drama.
"But yeah, I'll be there."
