Y/N IS HARD at work with the telescope he's building for Hailee. Reverend Henry gazes at him from the window above.
Shortly after, he exits the house and approaches Y/N with a mug in one hand and a lantern in the other. The young man is aware of his presence.
"Listen. I gotta finish this tonight." Y/N says firmly, still occupied with his work.
"Here." The reverend sets the mug down. "Something hot."
Y/N looks up. "Okay. Well, I'm almost finished with the rocker. Did she order the mirrors?"
"Yeah." He points to the garage. "They're in here."
"Great."
The two then head for the garage.
"What are you gonna use for the side bearings?" Reverend Henry asks.
"I'm using an old phonographic turntable."
"So you think you can get all this done by tomorrow, Y/N?"
The young man grins slightly and nods his head.
"Definitely."

THE NEXT NIGHT, Y/N and Hailee stand on the balcony holding each other. She is in her nightgown, while Y/N wears his usual tee, jacket, and jeans.
"Thank you." She says.
He smiles. "You're welcome."
She glances behind her to admire the telescope her boyfriend has built for her.
"It's beautiful."
"Okay, it's time." He gestures toward it. "Go check it out."
She turns back to him and softly replies. "Okay."
"Okay." He repeats.
They part. He places his hands in his coat pockets. Nights by Frank Ocean continues to play softly from the Echo device nearby.
Spend it when I get that, I ain't tryna keep you Can't keep up a conversation, can't nobody reach you Why your eyes well up?
Hailee looks through the telescope as Y/N watches her silently. She breaks away to look at the night sky and he follows her gaze. After a moment, Y/N's eyes fall back to Hailee.
He tilts his head. She adjusts the telescope knob as she looks through it once more. The Pons-Brooks comet shoots across the sky.

"Wow," Hailee whispers and smiles. "There it is."
Y/N smiles as well. She keeps looking through the telescope.
