The lights dimmed instantly.
Soft shadows stretching across the room.
And then-
The ceiling shifted.
Panels sliding silently-
Revealing glass.
Clear.
Open.

The night sky unfolded above us.
Endless.
The stars scattered like diamonds-
The moon glowing softly-
Watching over us.
I tilted my head back-
Breathing it in.
“I used to come here alone,” I murmured.
“To remind myself there was something bigger than everything I was dealing with.”
A pause.
“That I wasn’t trapped.”
Warmth surrounded me.
Jason.
His arms wrapping around me from behind-
Pulling me gently into him.
Secure.
Steady. 1
His chin rested lightly against my temple.
And for a moment-
He didn’t speak.
Just held me.
Like he didn’t want to break the moment.
Then-
“I love you.”
Soft.
Low.
Certain.
My breath caught.
Not because it was unexpected-
But because of the way he said it.

Like a truth he had accepted long ago.
And was only now allowing himself to say.
“It’s moments like this…”
His arms tightened slightly.
“…when I get to see you like this.”
A pause.
“Excited.” 1
“Happy.”
“Free.”
His voice softened even more.
“That make me feel like the luckiest man alive.”
I turned slowly in his arms.
Looking up at him.
Really looking.
The man who had fought.
Hidden.
Protected.
Waited.
And somehow-
Still chose me.
Every time.
My hand rose to his cheek.
Gentle.
“You are lucky, i am lucky as well,” I whispered.
A small smile.
“Because I chose you.”
A pause.
“And I Will keep choosing you.”
The world outside-
The war waiting-

The chaos that would come-
None of it mattered.
Not right now.
Because under that sky-
With the stars above us-
And his arms around me-
I wasn’t Amber Asher.
Not the heir.
Not the strategist.
Not the woman everyone expected something from.
I was just-
His.
And he was mine.
I pulled away slightly-
Still wrapped in him-
But suddenly remembering something.
“Wait.”
Jason frowned lightly.
“What?”
I sat up-
A spark of excitement returning.
“I have to show you something.”
That alone made him smile.
“Of course you do.”
I grabbed his hand-
Pulling him toward the bathroom.
The moment we stepped inside-
He stopped.
Completely.
The space didn’t feel like a bathroom.

It felt like something out of a dream.
a story.
The walls were carved like natural stone-
Soft water cascading from above-
A waterfall.
Gentle.
Constant.
The sound filling the room with a soothing rhythm.
At the center-
A natural pool.
Wide.
Deep enough-
Large enough for four adults.
The water glowed softly under hidden lights—
Reflecting against the stone-
Against the glass.
Because beyond it-
The ocean stretched endlessly.
The night sky mirrored over the surface-
Blending water and stars into one.
Jason let out a slow breath.
“…Amber.”
I smiled.
“I know.”
He walked closer-
Watching the water.
The way it flowed.
Then looked out toward the ocean-
Then back at me.
“This looks like it belongs in a fantasy book.”

Sanctuary
I laughed softly.
That was the idea.”
He stepped closer to the edge-
Studying the glass.
Then glanced at me.
“Still going to tell me this isn’t dangerous?”
I raised an eyebrow.
“How so?”
He gestured toward the open view.
“Anyone could-”
I cut him off with a small smile.
“I designed the glass.”
That got his attention.
Immediately.
“We can see everything outside.”
“But from the outside-”
I walked closer-
Running my fingers along the surface.
“It looks like solid stone.”
“Like the rest of the structure.”
He frowned slightly-
Leaning in.
“…no way.”
I nodded.
“And even if someone tried to bypass that-”
I crossed my arms lightly.
“The entire property is protected.”
“A signal jammer.”
His expression shifted.
Recognition.

Interest.
Nothing gets in or out electronically unless it’s authorized.” “Specific internal access.”
Jason let out a quiet laugh.
Of course.
Of course I had built something like this.
He turned toward me slowly-
Eyes softer now.
“You didn’t build a bathroom.”
A step closer.
“You built a sanctuary.”
I didn’t deny it.
Because that’s exactly what it was.
And standing there-
With the sound of water around us-
The ocean stretching endlessly beyond-
And him looking at me like that-
It didn’t feel like something I had built to hide.
It felt like something I had built-
Waiting to be shared.
