The truck climbs out of the desert heat and the city lights shrink below like a scattering of coins; at the overlook the air is immediately cooler and the set scene—candles, a low table, chilled champagne—waits framed by the skeletal pines. For 90 minutes you trade neon for star-swept sky and a private mountaintop where the wind seems to nudge you closer together.
