"Stay here for a sec," Jayden said, stepping away. Leila watched him disappear into the darkness for a moment before he returned, carrying a small box.
"What's that?" she asked, eyeing the box in his hand with interest.
"Just wait," Jayden replied mysteriously as he set the box down and crouched beside it. Leila saw the flicker of a lighter as he carefully ignited something. He stood back, looking at her with a spark in those deep blue eyes of his.
A faint hiss filled the air, and then suddenly, with a loud whoosh, a trail of light shot up into the night sky.
Leila's eyes widened as the first firework exploded, illuminating the darkness with a brilliant burst of gold and red. The colors shimmered, reflecting in her eyes as she watched in awe. Another followed, then another, each one more beautiful than the last, painting the night with vibrant hues. The stars themselves seemed to fade in comparison to the show that Jayden had put on for her.
