“So are the stars perfect?” he asked once it was completely dark. The millions of stars were sprinkled throughout the midnight blue sky.
“Yes,” she whispered. “You know my mom used to tell me the stars were our only comfort in the darkest of nights. They know our deepest secrets and darkest fears.”
“What about the moon?” he asked, turning his head to look at her. ...

“What about hope?”
“Well, hope shines brightest in the dark, or at least it’s what all the poems and books say,” she remarked.
