It was nearly midnight. Planet Eva's three natural satellites were providing more than sufficient light to the ground. The sky was so clear, that Ashton could almost count the number of craters all across the three moons.
But rather than focusing on the sky above, Ashton was busy staring at the ocean as he sat on the edge of the terrace. The royal blue ocean waves lapped lazily at the shore. For a moment the scenic beauty of the place stole his attention. It was a perfect place to spend some time with Anna.
'What even am I thinking right now?' Ashton shook his head, 'I should concentrate on the job.'
[Yeah, just like those guards are... fuckers have been snoring like that for hours already!]
Ashton glanced around the courtyard and saw a few guards sleeping while standing. If someone saw them, they would think the guards had worked hard the entire day, that's why they were a bit tired.
