A Night Under the Stars: A Romantic Camping Encounter Its night time in the forest. Cameron and I are sitting next to each other at a dwindling campfire in a clearing. We're alone for perhaps a mile in any direction. We've been sitting here for the last few hours. We watched the sun down and the stars come out. Now we're sitting in silence, enjoying each others company. Cameron roasts a marsh mellow now and then. Presently Cameron gets up and goes our tent behind us to get another bag. Its his second in two days. Cameron comes back and sits down as close to me as he can. I put my arm around him as he opens the bag and puts a marsh mellow on his metal stick. An hour goes by and the campfire has simmered down to just the coals. I look up up. The stars are in full view now. There are thousands of them, seemingly as many as the eye can perceive. There is less black in the night sky than I've ever seen. I point out the big dipper to Cameron then he points out the little one. Cameron looks at me and I look at him. He tells me he has an idea then gets up and goes back to the tent. I look up and return to star gazing. In the darkness beyond the whats left of the fire I hear a voice. Cameron tells me to come here. I get up and walk around the fire. My eyes adjust to the darkness and I can see Cameron lying down on a tarp farther in the clearing. I lie down next to him. …the next moment changed everything
