@metaIbones alex hums quietly, thumb brushing over his cheek as he cups his face.
“i’m sorry,” he says. “is there anything i can do to make you feel a little better?”
@soveryspeciaI Oh, and she — she is familiar as well.
But why? He can’t quite put his finger on it.
His mind is clouded by equations and numbers, his life’s work.
A few more moments gazing at her and maybe he’ll know.
@soveryspeciaI The sound of footsteps retreating quickly draws his attention.
He had been wrapped up in work, but the shift in atmosphere draws him out of his bubble.
What’s going on?
@omnisamans Sighing softly, Alex pinches the bridge of his nose and gives another small nod.
"Yeah, I hope so . . . Thank you for helping me get there."
@omnisamans "I didn't mean to go," he says softly.
"I have kids, a family. I have to get back to them. They think I left them."
His gaze drifts back out to the stars as he shakes his head.
"I have to go home."
@omnisamans He hums quietly as he keeps his eyes on the star, but then he peeks over at the woman with a small smile.
"Can't say I have. But I did pick one for my daughter. Couldn't tell you which one from here, though."
@omnisamans Blinking blearily, Alex sighs and rubs a hand over his eyes.
Then he peers out at the stars with Amilyn, squinting until he can pinpoint which one she's talking about.
"Which one?"
