Once he was in the driver’s seat, he decided some conversation may ease her nerves. “So tell me, Maia, have you ever seen a castle before?” “No, sir.” She stared straight ahead, so tense she could barely breathe. “Well, you’re about to. See, I’m a gardener for King Carter. I’m kind of his favorite gardener if I do say so myself so if you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.” “I want to learn how to read and write, please.

I told her about the stars, about wanting to disappear into the sky where nobody could find me. “Why would you want to disappear?” she asked one afternoon, lying beside me in the grass, both of us staring up at clouds. “Because…” I swallowed hard. “Because nobody sees me anyway. Not really. I’m just… in the way.” She rolled onto her side, propping herself up on one elbow. “I see you.” Three words. That’s all it took. “I see you too,” I whispered. She smiled, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a small silver star on a chain. “My mom gave this to me. She said when you’re lost, you follow the stars home.”

She looked up and said softly, “Maybe Zara’s become a star too. She loved the stars. Even if she’s gone to the sky, she’ll still be twinkling somewhere.” Calvin tilted his head and looked at the vast dome overhead. The inky sky was scattered with stars. Finding his bearing, he pointed. “I bought the naming rights to a star for her. There’s a star called Zara.” “Really?” Adriana followed the direction of his arm. The stars with purchased names aren’t visible to the naked eye, but she assumed the brightest one must be Zara. She waved gently and whispered, “Zara, how are you? Are you happy?”

He thought of the nights they had lain beneath these very stars, weaving stories for their daughter, promising her that nothing loved was ever truly lost. He smiled, brushing a lock of hair from her brow. “Only those who burned bright enough,” he said softly. “The stars are old. They have seen many stories, many lives. But they remember the ones who changed the world—the ones who loved fiercely, who gave all they had, who left light behind for others to follow.” She leaned into him, warm and small against his side. “Mama burned bright, didn’t she?”

“Yes.” “Have you promised to give me any gift before? I don’t remember it,” Estelle inquired. “It doesn’t matter. I remember that. And that’s enough.” Mr. Mysterious said, lost in thought of the past. **** “Cristofer, the stars you gave me are all fake.” “If you agree to marry me, I will give you a real one.” “Humph. I don’t believe you can give me a real star.” “I’m telling the truth.”

He was looking at the gathering the same way I had been taking it in, reading it the way he read most things. The ceremony continued around us. Fires burned. The sky above the outer grounds had gone fully dark, and the flames made the faces of the pack warm and visible against it. Kael looked at the torch in his hand. Then he lit it from the nearest fire. He held it for a moment, the flame catching and settling. Then he turned slightly and held it out toward me. Not handing it over. Not placing it in my hand. Just extending it in my direction, the way you offer something to someone when you want them to know the offer is there and the choice is theirs.

I was happy, but even more so because I had helped so many children. “Mr. Smith, would you like to say a few words?” The host’s question was the only one I was asked. I gripped the microphone tightly. “I know I’m just a small star in the vastness of the universe, but there are many like me, stars willing to burn themselves to spread knowledge. “I hope that we will never forget our true purpose and try our best to light up the world.” As thunderous applause filled the hall, I imagined my old teacher smiling down on me. “You did it, Dante. You did well.”

Anything Edgar wanted, she would find a way to give him, even if it were the stars in the sky. And she had, quite literally, given him a star. The trauma of losing his parents had left Edgar scarred, and he constantly sought reassurance and safety. Thus, one quiet night, Jessica had led him up to the rooftop. Pointing to the brightest star in the sky, she smiled and said, "Edgar, see that star? I've bought it for you."
