章節 240: Linsley's Dance With Lucy

For a moment, Lucy was silent.

Then, as if deciding there was no harm in it, she closed her eyes and whispered something too quiet for him to hear.

With both hands, she released the lantern.

It floated upward, moving with a grace that set it apart from the others. As it rose, the surrounding lanterns followed suit, gathering around it and soaring into the sky together.

The scene above them transformed into a breathtaking galaxy of light, the lanterns spreading like stars across the dark canvas.

Linsley's gaze lingered on Lucy as the golden glow reflected in her eyes. "What did you wish for?"

Lucy glanced at him, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "That's a secret."

He chuckled softly. "Of course it is."

The two of them stood in silence for a while, bathed in the golden light of the lanterns as they faded into the night sky.
