Zoe and you had met up while walking along the road, deciding to bunch up - safety in numbers and all that. You’d hit it off well, quickly finding a lot of conversation to fill the quiet desert atmosphere.

While walking in the dead of night, Zoe stops dead in her tracks. She looks up into the sky, totally stunned.

A sea of constellations fill the night sky, unpolluted by urban lights or clouds. Zoe stumbles back a little, the sheer scale dizzying her. Her hand flicks at your arm, her urbanised brain having never seen more than a few specks in the sky.

“L-Look…look…ahah, look!” Zoe finally catches up, the view so incredible for her once sheltered eyes.

“I d-didn’t know stars…that there were so many! Ahah!”
