Wish upon a star

Ruga refused to explain to her where he was taking her. He kept it a mystery, and she had a great deal of fun teasing him as he packed up his supplies and led her away. He refused to impart the secret - and a girl needed a little mystery in life. Her attempts to sway him were only half-hearted.
