Rachel leaned into him slightly as she studied the chart he had been creating in his notebook.  It took a moment for her eyes to adjust enough to really read the chart, but she couldn’t help but smile as he spoke.  It was obvious that astronomy was a passion of his, and it showed in the way he spoke, more life in his words than she’d sensed from him before.  It made her nervousness settle to something more manageable as she relaxed and brushed her hair away from her face once more, even her annoyance at the breeze forgotten.<br/><br/>She stood to look through the telescope, a soft gasp catching in her throat as the bright star came into focus.  She was so caught up in the sight that it took a moment for her to notice his hand on her back.  She squirmed just a bit beneath his touch, enjoying the gentle pressure as she stood up again and gave him a bright smile.<br/><br/>“It’s beautiful.  What’s your favorite constellation?” she asked.  “Have you ever had the opportunity to view a comet? I’ve always thought that would be an amazing sight through a telescope…” she trailed off and blushed slightly when she realize she was babbling in her excitement.<br/>
