Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“I found something. Look at this. It doesn’t seem like anything modern.” A
member noticed some copper items around the pond.
Winston went over and picked it up. “Looks like something between the tenth and
thirteenth century. Our guess is right on the money. The trade ships did pass this
area and left a mark.”
That raised everyone's morale. This finding alone was monumental for them, and
they had more vigor to search the place now. The discovery came quickly, but it
was welcome. A while later, another member fished out some shards from the
pond as well. This proved one thing: the fleet must've stopped at these islands,
and the sailors must've stayed near the pond.
The team worked until dusk before they went back to their camp. Jasper took
Willow back up, of course. All the other ladies had to climb the ropes and get
their hands burned a little, but Willow didn’t have to.
Everyone came back to the camp and talked about their discovery with vigor. A
big tent with glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the roof was set up so everyone
could take a break and get into a discussion there. They even brought out some
alcohol to celebrate, though everyone. only had a little to help them sleep. Willow
saw that her favorite red wine was available, so she asked for a glass.
“To a smooth expedition. Cheers. Winston stood up and raised his glass, then
everyone did the same and drank their concoction. Willow took a sip and looked
at Jasper, who had taken a seat on the chair outside.
She asked him to join them, but he didn’t. Everyone was relaxed, but it was all
the more reason for Jasper to be on guard. He was in charge of everyone's
safety, and he was a more cautious person, to begin with.
From time to time, Jasper would look at Willow, who was having fun with the
team, and tenderness would appear in his eyes. Every smile, every gesture, and
every glance she threw his way was enough to comfort his lonely heart.
Willow didn’t watch how much she was drinking, and she downed two glasses of
wine. After that, she approached Jasper and handed him a bottle of water. “Why
didn’t you join us for a drink?"
“I don't like to drink.” Jasper took the bottle, opened it up, and finished half of the
water. Willow sat beside him and requested the bottle. He handed it over, and
she drank from the same place Jasper did, not caring that his lips had touched
the bottle. Jasper looked at her, his eyes glinting, and at hint of delight flared in
his heart.
“What a happy day. We discovered clues faster than we thought we would. It
means we must be really close to the thing we're trying to find, said Willow
happily.
“Congrats.” Jasper was happy for her. Willow's eyes were filled with excitement
and a misty look, no doubt elicited by the alcohol. She rested her chin on her
hand and looked at Jasper. “I'm so happy I get to see the moon, the stars, and
the sea with you. What an honor.”
She didn’t say she liked him outright, but her sentiments were proof enough that
she really liked his company. Jasper looked at her in silence.
“This is going to be a great memory for us,” said Willow. The guys at the grill
came to her with a plate of grilled meat and greens. She never had this kind of
food at home, for her father would not allow it. Her eyes twinkled. “Smells nice.”
She picked up a kebab and handed it to Jasper. “Dig in.”
