Stars In Your Multitudes
“I always loved watching the stars in January, even as a kid. Drove my mam spare.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. She’d rather I stargazed in June or July, when I wasn’t so likely to catch my death of cold. She never quite got that January was the best month for seeing Orion in all his glory, or finding the winter triangle and the beautiful blue glow of Sirius.”
“I watched the stars as a kid too, but it wasn’t really for the beauty. By my time, people had stopped looking at them in the same way. I just wanted to get out there and explore.”
“And then you did.”
“And then I did.”
“And?”
“And it was wonderful, for a while. But now…”
“Yes?”
“Now I’m enjoying learning how to see them as you did as a kid. And you’re right. Just looking at them like this, tonight, with you, they’re beautiful.”

Please let me know if you think this worked. I usually struggle somewhat with dialogue, so wanted to see if I could get across all the emotion with no descriptive text.
