It’s always night at the Observatory—this cosmic meeting place where so many of us find ourselves. Time seems absent here under the unmoving stars.
The other wanderers think me strange, and maybe I am. I was hardly a normal girl when my father died and Oberon left. And in the years since, my life has been nothing but change.
I cross the stars chasing ghosts—hoping to catch a glimpse, a trace, a whisper of Oberon. Time passes. My failures multiply. And yet nothing can make me forget the shy, desert boy with eternity in his eyes.
