San nodded in agreement, turning his attention to the sky.
“I am going to join Chammy by the fire,” Cham said as he left the rock, but San didn’t hear him.
He was mesmerized by the little lights that draped the open night sky.
Watching them from outside was so much better than he could ever have imagined.
