they were side by side, watching the glittering dots shine.
"there's gemini, the twin constellation." she told him, pointing to a collection of stars. "and there's orion - you see those three stars? there, in a line? that's the belt."

"i love looking at the night sky. the moon, stars, clouds, all of it. they're amazing. stars are billions of light years away, yet they burn so bright we see them here. even if what we see is billions of years old, it's still fascinating to watch."

it was then he realized he was falling in love with her.
