Chapter Five

The nighttime sky was filled with wonder as the stars twinkled brighter than I have ever experienced in my life. This is it. This is Mauna Kea. I remember researching this place when I first started dreaming about her. The very first night she appeared in my dream, she had stars in her eyes, like a reflection of the most brilliant star field. Because of that vision, I was determined to learn everything about stargazing, figuring it was some sort of sign. A way to find her. To find out who this captivating female was that stared at me while I slept.

Snow covered the ground and crunched beneath my boots, leaving large boot tracks within the fluffy white mounds. I loved the sound it made when my boots chewed against the forgiving ice. Tiny little flakes fell in dainty flurries around me. My vision was filled with an array of different snowflakes dancing around my head like they wanted to put on a special show just for me.

Looking up just ahead of the trail, I could see the large telescopes perched atop the summit and my memory of their size didn’t do them justice. Just their size alone emanated power and might. The fact that the human eye could see such astrophysical beauty—it was a wonder to think of the details those powerful telescopes could observe and record.

The moon was very large and almost completely full tonight. The reflection of the sun’s rays across the lunar surface illuminated the dark sky along with the blanket of glimmering stars. Just a tiny little slice of the Earth’s shadow was cast along the moon’s edge. Each divot and hill of the lunar landscape was clearly visible to the naked eye. I felt like, at this altitude, I could just reach out and touch the gray, powdery surface. Knowing it wasn’t possible, but still wanting to try, I reached my hand up toward the glowing orb. I took a moment to examine the contrast between my gloved hand and the distant, rocky terrain of the moon. My silhouetted fingers looked almost transparent as my eyes attempted to adjust between the bright surface of the rock and the darkness of my glove.

Suddenly, I noticed movement to my right. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me in an attempt to readjust from the bright glow of Earth’s satellite. My eyes darted quickly to the right to catch what was moving beyond the shadows of the mountainous rock walls.

As I whipped my head to the side, I met with a pair of breathtaking amethyst irises. My heart began to beat wildly as I took in the sight of my love. Millions of stars reflected in her purple eyes, like shimmering diamonds.

It was like a more detailed version of my first dream about her. Stars in her eyes. Their bright reflection contrasting with the deep, vibrant purple. Her eyes were alive and they were looking at me, begging to look into my soul.
