How I Wonder
Astoria traced the imaginary lines connecting Orion's body and turned from the sky to Draco. His smile was lazy, faraway.
"Do you see it?"
"You're the only one who sees this much beauty in the world."
"Not true," Astoria said. "Look again; I'll show you."
"Marry me," he blurted.
Her eyes widened, his too.
"Sorry," he said.
"No, no," Astoria said. Warmth spread through her chest, completely independent of the blanket they were bundled under. "Say that again?"
"And that's my second-favourite constellation," Astoria pointed out the hunter.
"What's your favourite?" her son asked.
"That scorpion chasing him," she smiled.
