"Just take one day at a time." I rest my arm over her and we stare up at the sky.
After a few minutes, she bolts up. "I can see it!"
"See what?"
"You and me. In the stars. I couldn't see it last time but now I do."
I've been looking at it this whole time but didn't think she'd notice it. So does the fact that she sees it mean something? Now that her plan is gone, will she start to see things differently? I hope so, because that's what she needs to do in order for us to have a chance.
She lies down again. "I wish the answers were up there in the sky. Like some kind of sign telling me what to do."
There are signs all around her but she doesn't realize it. The star formation is a sign telling her we should be together. And maybe her parents' business problems are a sign telling her to stay here and reevaluate her life. Maybe it's a sign that she was headed down the wrong path. I don't like bad things happening to people, but I do believe things happen for a reason. Unfortunately, Willow doesn't see it that way.
