Chapter 50 Leon Carter

• Leon Carter
• The early hours of the morning had poured over us like sweet wine. The sky, already fading from stars, was a sign that dawn was near. The fire crackled in embers, and the soft sound of the waves provided the perfect background to loud laughter, childhood stories, improvised dances, and declarations of love.
• I was already slightly drunk. Not enough to lose my senses, but just enough to feel light, free, as if no problems were lurking anymore. Ella, on the other hand... was far too cheerful for her own good. Her eyes sparkled as if they held the stars the sky was beginning to erase.
