With a firm breath, the candle was out. The smoke dissipated as a droplet of wax made it's descent towards the frosting, hardening before it could reach it's goal. Thaniel smiled politely as he looked around the small gathering surrounding him.
- "What did you wish for?"
"Don't be silly, if Than tells us then it won't come true!"
Time had passed, his friends were cheering on those who were taking part in a video game. He finally decided he was ready to leave. Carefully naivgated over legs, glasses of drink and plates of food, Thaniel successfully exited the room.
- "Hey, Than, where are you going?"
"Oh," Thaniel paused, "I'm leaving."
"What?" "Why?" "No, stay!" The chorus rung in his ears.
"I've got something to do." The protests didn't seem to escalate much beyond the exclamations and pouts. That was besides Harlow, who clambered out of the room after him.
"I'm coming with you!"
"Oh, you'll find it boring."
"Anything is better than this."
"There is." Thaniel laid out his jacket for them to sit in the grass. The night was peaceful.
- "So, did you make a wish earlier?"
"I did."
"Let me guess, you wished for them to all get food poisoning and for the party to end?"
"Not exactl--- Look, look there!" Thaniel leant in close to Harlow and pointed up to the sky.
In a hushed voice Harlow spoke, "It looks like you get an extra wish."
She could feel his smile against her shoulder, "I don't need an extra wish. Look how beautiful it is."
"Make a wish."
While Thaniel didn't believe in wishes coming true, not in the magical way that Harlow and others had presented it, he did make a wish. He could have wished for peace in the comfort of friends. He could have wished for the courage to say no to plans he wasn't excited for. He could have wished for more moments like this.
He wished for his friends wishes to come true. He wished for Harlow to get what she was seeking.
