Author's Note: So, if you've read this far, how was it? I tried to keep everyone in character while giving them more than a static, 2-sided personality. Characterization and closure was my main focus in this, actually. So please let me know what you think by leaving a comment/review! I've enjoyed writing this fic, so naturally I hope you've enjoyed reading it as well.
Epilogue - Foreshadowing
From a spontaneous proposal, our journey begins.
I stand next to you on the balcony in the early hours of the morning, the day after your birthday. The cool breeze teases our faces, brought about by the ocean tides, hushing as they collide at the shore.
You're looking up at the sky now, a sky of an approaching dawn. I can see the sun rise in your eyes, emerging amongst the stars in the blanket of a summer sky. It's as if you're searching for something, your blue eyes wandering through what is left of the night before.
"Franz," you say softly, your voice almost otherworldly, traced with wonder. "Let's go there someday, the two of us."
I study your eyes, but I can't seem to grasp where your thoughts venture. "Go where?" I ask.
The sky is riddled with watercolors, a growing light beginning to rise behind the darkness. Meanwhile, the moon basks in its arrival, its cratered surface momentarily lucid in bright warmth. An alluring, elusive orb, shrouded in mystery.
You're turning towards me now, smiling.
"To Luna."
