         I.

Estella wakes with a start, cool-damp air on bare skin, hot-soft breath against her breast. All that, wet grass sticking to her and Diamond asleep against her, and them in the shadow of the tall tree – but beyond that, the night-sky sparkles and stretches out wide and endless, and Estella lets out her breath. That wakes Diamond, and a number of moments after that – they sit and laugh, brushing at wet grass and wondering if they've been missed, and Diamond saying that they're perfectly fine of course, that she'd told them not to expect them back until the next morning.

          II.

'At least one of us came prepared!' she says – there are extra blankets tucked into in the saddle bags, and there's food as well, so they bundle up in the blankets and they sit out beneath the stars, eating. Estella holds Diamond against her, her back against the tree, and she cranes her neck back and stares at the stars. Her fingers trail across Diamond's warm thigh, and her eyes pick out the stars in the sky, and she smiles to herself, listening to Diamond's heart beat and the sound of Diamond's voice: underneath her breath, she counts the stars.

          III.

Estella lets her mouth wander, seeks out warm, soft spots on Diamond's throat, up close beneath her ear. Diamond's head lolls to one side, her breath catches – beneath her hand, beneath her mouth, Diamond tenses, groans, arches. Estella laughs, presses her mouth against Diamond, kisses her slowly, letting her mouth linger. Diamond's legs are tense as well, and Estella seeks out her center, lets her fingers linger as well: Diamond groans and shakes and, reaching back, clutches at Estella's legs, and the blanket slips down off Estella's shoulders. Laughing, out of breath, Diamond mutters something about having lost her count.
