Stars shine... but don't twinkle...
Fresh air... but no breeze...
Gorgeous food... but not real...
Then Kathryn comes in to the room, wearing that velvet dress. The one she wore the night I kissed her under the stars on New Earth. The one she was wearing the evening I first made love to her, during a moonlight sail on Lake George. The one she wore the night I vowed never to leave her alone, after our first letters from home.
The one she's going to be wearing, when I propose later...
She smiles at me...
...And my world comes alive.
