"Seriously?" Leia asked suspiciously.
"Yes!" Xavier nodded and held his hand out to her. "It's the perfect time to. Would you like to go with me?"
Leia looked into his eyes and saw sincerity in them. After a brief pause, she nodded firmly. "Okay."
"Let's go then, my princess." Xavier's eyes sparkled in delight, and he acted like a prince leading his beloved princess to his secret spot. To his surprise, she had actually agreed to his request.
Looks like those pigs were good for something, after all.
After a while of walking, they arrived on the other end of the island where Xavier's cottage was. There was a large space in front of the cottage where the barbecue was going on, and some people were whispering to each other while others sang and played guitar. The atmosphere was rather romantic.
"Don't tell me the most beautiful view on this island is this barbecue?" Leia asked in disbelief. She should never have trusted that trickster Xavier!
"Look... Look up?" Her surroundings were dark, but when Leia looked up, her gaze landed on a beautiful starry sky. Her eyes widened in awe, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. "Oh wow… This is... This is amazing!"
The roofless cottage gave them the perfect view of the stars shining brightly in the night sky. Leia's eyes lit up as she started counting the stars, smiling excitedly like a child.
"You'll have a better view if you lay here." Xavier led her over to the bed, and was happy when she didn't refuse and laid down with him.
