It was an October night at the Museum of Natural History. The Hayden Planetarium was running a private stargazing event — champagne, a jazz trio, and a rotating dome showing the winter constellations. Sebastian was playing trumpet. Vivienne had come for the stars.

They stayed until the last guests left, until the staff started turning off lights one constellation at a time. Two years later — through moves, renovations, a dog named Orion, and one very precise proposal on the exact same rooftop — we are finally ready to say it out loud under the night sky we both love.
