"Now, hopefully you can see the wood for what it really is" he swept his arm out to gesture the view from the highest tree around. The woods stretched out for nearly a mile back to the school, and farther in every other direction. The distant light of the town's main street could be seen almost like a second sunset to the south. Throughout the forest, fireflies blinked themselves into and out of existence, making the treetops look as if they were decorated with twinkling christmas lights. Below them, a mother deer and its two fawns slowly paced through a small clearing on the other side of the tree they sat in. The fawns' spots were plainly visible in the natural light of the moon.
Riley looked up to see the moon at its fullest, seemingly so close he could reach out and touch it. The stars stretched out above his head, reminding him of the vastness of space and his own tiny place in its expanse. Riley always felt calm when he could escape civilization for a while, especially at night.
He looked to Aspen on his right, hoping she enjoyed what she saw and hopefully felt less threatened by the forest when seeing it from high up. He for some reason had a vested interest in seeing her smile. Even wanting to put his arm around her and pull her to lean against him, but he felt that would be too forward.
