"Hey," he greeted, smiling as he trailed his hands down her arms to hold her hands.
"Thanks for coming," he added as he looked around the Observatory. This was the third time they'd been up here on the last night of the term. Their anniversary, so to speak. Two years after they first said I love you to each other in this exact same spot. Surely Ellie would remember. She had to realize that something special was going to happen, right? Maybe?
Pulling her closer again, he gave her another hug. "You look beautiful, by the way."
He jumped. So much for trying not to scare him. Oh well. At least he didn't fall off the tower. Anyway. Ellie smiled when Dallin kissed her and held her hands.
"Hi... again." She giggled quietly.
"You don't need to thank me," she told him with another smile. She would gladly, willingly come to this place anytime of day, any day of the week. The place where they first said "I love you". Even though it was kind of really corny, it was cute to Ellie. Corny wasn't
always bad.
When Dallin pulled her in for a hug, Ellie hugged him back tightly.
"Thank you," she said quietly and remembered the past two years of their lives. They had gone through so much. Near death experiences, way too much drama, and a break up that tore them apart. But now they were here. Together, in love, and happy as can be...
And suddenly, Ellie was getting emotional. Because this would be their last time at the observatory together. She suddenly felt a lump come to her throat. What? No. No... crying was not good. She was so happy a second ago and now Ellie felt like she was going to cry. She blinked them back and hoped that Dallin wouldn't pull away any time soon and see her eyes slightly wetter than usual.
