“Well if you insist.” He kissed her quickly. “Oh, I was also going to ask if we were going to go to the ball together?”

“Yes!” June squealed and squeezed his arm after snuggling up to him again.

They watched house lights flicker out, one by one and be replaced by more stars.

“I have this theory.” His deep voice broke the silence.

June looked at him and noticed he was staring up at the stars through the trees, “What’s that?”

“Have you heard about string theory?”

“Um no.”

“Basically, when massive stars die, they explode and the stardust is collected from a gravitational pull to make planets and such.”

“Okay.” She followed along.

“I think that each stars’ stardust is spread throughout the world to a dozen or so people. That’s why some people are just drawn together. That’s where best friends, family and soulmates come from.”

“That’s interesting and beautiful, I love it.”

“You’re beautiful.” He kissed her forehead. “By the way, my mom and aunt want to meet you but please don’t wear that black dress.”

“What was wrong with that dress?” She pulled back.

Wolfie blinked at her wildly, “June. Juniper. I could see how cold you were, and my god are you more beautiful when you’re cold.” The corner of his mouth upturned.

“Oh my goodness, I was hoping you couldn’t tell.”

“Why do you think I acted the way I did?”

“I didn’t mind.” She giggled as he reminded her.

“I did, anyway. How about next Sunday, for Sunday breakfast.”

“Okay, should I bring anything?”

“No,” He chuckled, “Do you want to spend the night at my place and then we can go together, unless that is too soon?” His fingers caressed her arm.

“Sure!” June hadn’t been to Wolfie’s place. She assumed he was being courteous in not having to go to his place because of Shianne. She began to think if it was messy or clean? What was on his walls? What trinkets were scattered on his shelves?

“As much as I hate to say this, I think it’s time I take you back.”

“No.” She nuzzled him.

“Come on.” Wolfie kissed her, leaving her to want more and then helped her stand up to take her home.

March First

Juniper ‘Thank you for bringing me coffee, I loved seeing you today.’

Wolfgang ‘Sorry I made it short but I wanted to see you.’

Juniper ‘Work is picking up so I’ll be working later, probably until after the ball.’

Wolfgang ‘That’s how it goes sometimes. I’ll still be here when you’re done.’

Juniper ‘Thank you.’
