THE WAY WE ONCE WERE

THE ENCHOES OF TIME ( HALF STORY)

As the years passed, Alex and Lily's love only grew stronger. They married under a sky filled with stars, their vows exchanged in the soft glow of twilight. Their wedding was a beautiful fusion of their passions, with telescopes set up for guests to gaze at the stars and Lily's celestial paintings adorning the venue.

They continued to inspire each other, with Alex's research leading to new discoveries and Lily's art evolving in ever more stunning ways. Their home became a sanctuary filled with celestial art and scientific instruments, a place where the beauty of the universe was ever-present.

One night, as they lay on a blanket in their backyard, staring up at the endless expanse of the night sky, Alex pointed out a new star, recently discovered and named in Lily's honor. He explained that it was a binary star, two stars orbiting each other in a beautiful celestial dance, just like their love.

Tears filled Lily's eyes as she realized the depth of Alex's love for her. In the grand tapestry of the universe, they had found each other, two souls whose love shone as brightly as the stars. They held each other close, knowing that their love was as timeless and infinite as the cosmos itself, a testament to the serendipity of the stars.
