Evangalina laughed, lightly and hugged him tight. "I was afraid you
could hear the pounding of my heart whenever you smiled at me. But
now, I'm so happy!"
Evangelina couldn't believe it! He liked her back! She beamed up at
him now, still unable to believe it. She sighed and rested her head
on his shoulder.
Cassius watched the stars. He yawned. When Cassius saw Evangelina
slept at his shoulder. Then, Cassius rest on Evangelina's head and
sleep.
The next day~
Cassius wakes up, after his best day of his life with Evangelina.
Evangelina still rests his shoulder and he stays put, until
Evangelina wakes up. Cassius smiled.
"N-No. It's fine. I slept too, when the meteor shower's over." said
Cassius and smiled. "I'm feeling great. Really. By the way, how are
you last night?" Then, Cassius smiled at Evangelina.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I slept better then I have in a long
time. I normally have nightmares about the war and injured
soldiers. But last night, next to you, I slept peacefully,"
Evangelina told him truthfully. She smiled up at him.
"Good morning, Cassius. Morning, Eva," Gen. Lovelace greeted them.
"I saw you both sleeping earlier, but I didn't want to wake you.
You both looked so peaceful."
He looked them both over, knowingly, "So, have you two figured it
out?"
"What?" Evangelina asked, surprised.
"I knew you both liked each other yesterday. I was waiting for you
to figure it out," He chuckled, smiling at them.
"I like your daughter so much, Sir, really. ... But, I'm too
s-scared if I tell you this, Sir. Are you mad at me, Sir, that I
like your d-daughter more than a million times more?" said
Cassius.
Cassius was nervous to speak, because her father might get angry at
him.
Gen. Lovelace threw back his head and laughed. After a while, he
wiped his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, it's just that you make
Evangelina happy. It might only be a little while, but she is very
happy. And you watched the stars. She is always telling me about
how important that is."
Evangelina smiled at her dad, "I do! He's...Dad, I really like
Cassius."
Gen. Lovelace smiled, "I know. The looks you give each other? They
are the same one's your mother and I give each other."
