Since we're on a little bi of a travel break, are you ready for more lessons?

[Janie finally lays back and looks up at the stars]

It doesn't really matter, because I don't think I want to change a thing right now. I just want to be here... because getting up would kill the moment.

[Julian smiles at her, then follows her gaze into the night sky.]

You're right, so, let's enjoy it as long as we can. If there's anything I can do to make it even better though, just tell me.

...What about you? What would make this better?

Not that I plan on getting up. All of our drinks are in reach, correct?

They are. Everything that matters is right here, at least for me. I ... I don't know what could make it better. Not really. I don't want anything to spoil this, or make it complicated.

Laying here together and getting drunk won't complicate this.

[Janie moves so she is laying closer to Julian] The stars are beautiful here...

Yes ... I suppose you're right.

[Julian glances at her, but doesn't move away. Instead, he points up into the sky, leaning in a bit to show her a few stars forming a pattern.]

They are. Do you see these? I bet it's a constellation the people here a have a name for. Which might it be?

[she's now focusing on the stars]

A... Bottle of whiskey. It's a tower, isn't it?

[He laughs and raises his bottle to compare.]

I totally see the similarity. And those over there? [He points.] Looks like a building to me. Could be the Great Sky Bar.

Ha ha, it could be! Is there a glass too?

I see two. Here and ... there.

Oh, and that dude over there? A Space Bartender. I think he's offering us a refill ...

It's always time for refills. [Janie smiles while looking up at the sky, and relaxed]

Certainly.

[He clinks his bottle against Janie's and drinks, smiling.]

Can we stay here for a while?

[Janie clinks her bottle against his, and smiles too]

As long as you want to, or did you mean right here on the beach? Because I'm perfectly comfortable right here.

I mean both. And I'm glad you do ... I feel as if I've finally arrived somewhere. It's strange, but good.

I feel like... I have a purpose. Something that isn't going to end.

[He turns his head to look at Janie, a happy look on his face.]

That's good, isn't it?

Yes, and it's even better that someone I know is here with me...

Yeah ... it wouldn't be half as good without you.
